"To say this complicates the Obama administration's diplomatic outreach is to put it mildly. This administration -- in fairness, not unlike the last few years of the Bush administration -- seems prepared to make an endless series of concessions to Tehran

Well, "in fairness" to Bush and the truth (from the excerpt text in the article):

"...Iranian aircraft attacked three villages inside Iraq over the weekend. The airstrikes — Iran’s first on Iraqi soil since the U.S. invasion — could complicate the Obama administration’s efforts to normalize relations with Tehran.

So without the sugarcoating these beltway pundits seem to believe is obligatory before reporting something less than positive about the anointed one, unlike Bush, Obama's leadership has embolden Iran to launch airstrikes on Iraq soil - after six years of Bush/Cheney leadership had deterred them.

"Complicates" my #$&! Try irrefutably discredits.
