Well, what the hell's he waiting for then???
We don't know that he is waiting, or, if he is, what the reason may be.
Going by the area being discussed I, myself, assume the first task on agenda would be (gasp) intelligence gathering, then covert movement.
We obviously are aware of the intelligence involved, however any covert action has yet to be known to us.
What action that may come about to resolve the issue won't be something that will be made known before or during such action, so this time we won't have television camera crews awaiting our arrival!
Patience, my friend. : )
