If you have listened to president Obama's recent statements about negotiations with Iran, especially those after Obama spoke with the Iranian president, you have undoubtedly heard that the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei issued a fatwa against nuclear weapons. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, a "fatwa" is an Islamic religious edict. Obama cited this fatwa as an indication of Iran's intentions. There is only one problem with Obama's statement: THERE IS NO SUCH FATWA!!
Here is a detailed article by The Middle East Media Research Institute or MEMRI that makes clear that the supposed fatwa does not exist. You should read it. If MEMRI is correct, and it usually is, then president Obama has bought into a disinformation campaign run by the Iranians. He looks like a fool. No, he is a fool.
America deserves better.
