Daily Mail/AP: Obama still undecided on arming Ukraine with lethal weapons after Washington huddle with German Chancellor Merkel
* Obama said Monday that a 'decision has not yet been made' and he continues to hope that diplomacy will prevail
* If it fails, Obama said, the U.S. will look at all available options, including lethal weapons; He would not provide a timeline for a decison
* Merkel and France's president have adamantly opposed such steps and will meet with the heads of Ukraine and Russia this week
* If it becomes clear that 'success is not possible,' however, then the United States and Europe will have to discuss next steps, Merkel noted
* GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham said the situation in Ukraine shows that under 'Obama’s leadership it is better to be America’s enemy than her friend'
