MORE OBAMA GENEROSITY - FOR ENEMIES - AT 9:01 A.M. ET:  The seemingly endless generosity of Barack Obama toward enemies of the United States continues this morning, with another "understanding" statement on Iran by an American diplomat.  The warmth, the kindness, the just gosh-darn decency toward a regime that shoots demonstrators in the streets:

VIENNA (Reuters) - The United States is willing to give Iran time to decide whether to accept a U.N. draft deal that is meant to defuse nuclear tensions with world powers but has drawn Iranian objections, a U.S. diplomat said on Monday.

Sure.  Take all the time you need.  No hurry here, no hurry.

The proposal for Iran to part with stocks of potential nuclear explosive material in exchange for fuel to keep a nuclear medicine facility running has stumbled on Iranian calls for amendments, but Iran has not rejected it outright.

No, and the Japanese never rejected peace outright either.  In fact, they were negotiating with us when their planes made a wrong turn and wound up over Pearl Harbor. 

...Tehran has yet to give a full, official reply on the proposal drafted by International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei three weeks ago after consultations with Iran, France, Russia and the United States.

"There have been communications back and forth. We are in extra innings in these negotiations. That's sometimes the way these things go," said Glyn Davies, U.S. ambassador to the IAEA.

Yeah, that's the way they go.  I mean, what's really involved here?  Anything important?

"We want to give some space to Iran to work through this. It's a tough issue for them, quite obviously, and we're hoping for an early positive answer from the Iranians."

I just love that.  I really love it.  "It's a tough issue for them..."  This guy was probably instructed by the White House to "show empathy," one of Obama's favorite words. 

We have gotten nowhere.  Iran has negotiated for seven years over this issue, without making a single concession.  If you were Iran, would you give up anything significant when faced with the Empathy Action Doll in the White House?
