Actually it is my opinion that his delayed decision is a purely political calculation.......he knows that winter is setting in in Afghanistan, and with it comes the insurgents retreat into the mountains until spring, and generally a reduction in fighting.......Obama figures that if he dithers until winter, he can delay his decision until after his "social agenda" is passed, and not face the ire of his party's extreme left-wing.....
He is just kicking the can down the road at the expense of our soldiers in the field, which is despicable.

Does he not realize how long it takes to mobilize 30-40,000 troops in order to have them ready by spring?
He obviously doesn't realize that he's harming the troops that are there....and regardless of most peoples political affiliation...they still care about the welfare and safety of the troops even if they don't agree with war.
Also....Obama was quite vocal during his campaign that he felt the war should be fought in just Afghanistan...and all those Dems that voted for him knew that.
Now that he actually has to act on that campaign opinion....he doesn't
do anything except ask for everybody's opinion.....over and over and over again.Proving that he has no clue what he's supposed to actually do and keeps trying to get others/polls opinion to tell him what to do.
Since those opinions are constantly changing....he doesn't know where to jump.
He's basically landed on a iron spike fence with a leg on each side.....slowly bleeding out.
