While he thinks things over, those people stranded on that mountain top haven’t had food or water for a week. If he thinks just a day or so longer, he won’t have to worry about it any more at all.

unfortunately i think that’s the point...
he doesn’t want to do anything because action in iraq would put an exclamation mark on his previous failure there
he doesn’t care about the victims in this case
so he “weighs” his actions until it’s too late...
