It's dependent upon U.S. politics when President Obama is attempting to avoid a domestic battle about him being cowardly or whatever else. Or is attempting to avoid domestic divisions, such as when he didn't have a comprehensive inquiry on the Iraq war.
Yes, but he is definitely not going to be called cowardly here, the GOP has no public sentiment to gain from it. Given the failures of the Iraq war, Obama could have made it a political issue. I'm not sure that divisions in the voting block is what really motivated that choice.
