SINGAPORE (AFP) — President Barack Obama on Sunday won the strongest backing yet from Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev on the Iranian nuclear crisis as the US leader warned that Tehran was "running out of time". Obama expressed frustration with Iran's failure to give an answer three weeks after it received a UN-brokered offer aimed at defusing the stand-off, while Medvedev suggested that even Russian patience was now wearing thin. "Unfortunately, so far at least, Iran has been unable to say yes" to the proposal, Obama said after talks with Medvedev at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Singapore. "We now are running out of time with respect to that approach," said Obama.

Time "ran out" years ago but the world community has been in "appeasement mode" for so long they are stuck in it. The world community has been "talking" to Iran for 5-6 years now. Some folks will never take a hint. I guess it will be left for Israel to do the dirty deed and strike Iran. It doesn't appear anyone else has any plans to do anything about Iran except jawbone them to death. :doh

Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never take out a nuclear reactor.

The Russians deserve a tremendous amount of credit for playing the "straight man role," concerning Iran, with the clowns in the WH. H.O. and company always seem to take naivete and political stupidity to another level.
