The levels of diplomatic activity, fear and even desperation regarding Iran’s steadily advancing nuclear-weapons program are rising rapidly in the White House.
The same is true for Israel and America’s Arab allies in the region, but for very different reasons.
Israel and friendly Arab states worry that the religious fanatics and militarists ruling Tehran will achieve their long-sought goal of possessing deliverable nuclear weapons.
President Obama worries that his endless concessions to and compromises with these same fanatics and militarists will fail to produce a piece of paper he can call a diplomatic success.
With the Nov. 9-10 talks in Oman apparently producing no breakthroughs, it’s looking likely that the looming Nov. 24 negotiating “deadline” will simply be extended — though Iran may even force Obama to offer further sanctions relief before it will consent to another extension.
Tehran has Obama exactly where it wants him.
The past year’s intense “P5 + 1” negotiations (culminating a dozen years of such diplomacy) have seen the Security Council’s five permanent members and Germany make one concession after another.
This is not speculation: The White House has cheerfully leaked details of these concessions to friendly reporters to encourage news stories about how close a deal is.
Sadly, this practice is more evidence that it is the “deal” itself, rather than its substance, that constitutes Obama’s Holy Grail.
Reports that Obama has written to Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, linking cooperation against the terrorist Islamic State (or “ISIS”) with an agreement over Iran’s nuclear-weapons program, only further confirms this point.
At this point, we can only hope that Tehran saves us from ourselves by overreaching, as it has so often before.
Sadly, with Obama so eager to declare victory, there may be no practical limit to what Iran can achieve.

Do we really know what Obamas definition of success is?
The little weasel exhibits all the characteristics of an aids patient who willfully infects others.
I am certain 0 will ge his piece of paper to wave around and Iran will get their nukes.
Obama and the uberliberals desperately want the muzzie mad dogs to have nukes.
For some insane reason they believe the murderous thugs will behave with them.
Just like back street gangbangers are always upstanding citizens in the eyes of a liberal
It's not necessarily in their best long-term interest but it's how Muslims sh!t on those they have zero respect for.
I argue that Bibi or someone has already acted on several occasions to seriously disrupt the Iranian nuc effort.
Primary Scientists were killed. Stuxnet wrecked havoc. Underground facilities were blown up. Surfave facilities were obliterated.
The hapless Obama is able to pretend to be relevant simply because the Iranian effort has actually been thwarted
