I wonder if it isn't this hesitancy that is fueling Iran's saber rattling. They maybe think they have the West on the ropes. If true, they would be making a terribly wrong assumption. Obama may be expecting diplomacy to win out (which it won't), thus giving the appearance of indecision. I don't believe he's that indecisive, just hopeful for a peaceful resolution. Iran's rope is running out and I don't think they know it.
I'm not so sure if more certainty and tougher sanctions wouldn't fuel even more saber rattling (waaah the West is out to get us, see people?) that kinda ****.
