WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Decisions about withdrawing troops from Iraq and sending more troops to Afghanistan have been delayed until the Pentagon provides President Barack Obama with more detail about the risks and implications of the issues confronting him, according to two senior Pentagon officials.

Both officials, who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue, have a direct understanding of the discussion regarding troop withdrawals. They said the military is not concerned about the delays, but that there is concern about the deteriorating levels of security in Afghanistan.

If there are deteriorating levels of security in Afghanistan, why would the military not be concerned about lack of clarity over the decision?

Oh I don't know ... was deteriorating levels of security an legitimate reason when Bush used it? Now, timetables will be adjusted, as anyone with a brain knew would happen, and the same people who attacked Bush for having to react to the situation on the ground will just say Obama is having to react to the situation on the ground.
