I saw this Frontline episode 2 or 3 weeks ago. It was very good, and only echoes the complexities of the situation over there that McChrystal is talking about from a military point of view, as well from a political point of view. Obama is ignoring it for two reasons, first, he's inexperienced, and secondly, he doesn't like being told what he has to do. Obama sees this as more of a political hot potato more than an opportunity for military achievement.
Obama is dithering I think because he's trying to see how he can exploit the situation for his own political expedience, while at the same time, creating a way to take credit for something he has no direct part in.

Or Hussein is a muslim and he wants islam to rule the planet. I'm inclined to believe the latter..

” Obama is dithering I think because he’s trying to see how he can exploit the situation for his own political expedience, while at the same time, creating a way to take credit for something he has no direct part in.”
He’s also letting all the elections - Afghan, US, get out of the way so he let his spin doctors cook up the best message based on those results.
The Afghan situation didn’t play out, so now it’s what happens today that will form the approach.
It should be rather apparent that he delays to create advantage/take credit, or to deflect blame onto others
