NEW YORK (BHN) - In the latest of what has become an endless string of foreign policy blunders, gaffes, missteps, flubs, miscalculations, snafus, misjudgments, boners, and boo boos, President Obama inadvertently traded American and Israeli security for an Iranian hoax.
Speaking before the United Nations last week, Obama agreed to now accept Iran's nuclear program, saying his decision was based on the fact "the Supreme Leader has issued a fatwa against the development of nuclear weapons."
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) was quick to report that "no fatwa has been issued by Supreme Leader Khamenei and does not exist. Apparently someone in the Iranian administration called the White House and informed them that a 'phat-wa' had been issued. A phat-wa is, of course, a letter of encouragement."
White House spokesman Jay Carney defended the President, saying, "It really wasn't his fault - after all, it's not like it was in writing."
Nonetheless, J Street’s moment in the sun is the result of fortuitous political circumstances, rather than any ingenious strategy on its part. As the Washington Free Beacon’s Adam Kredo reported last week, the group has spent $100,000 reaching out to lawmakers to look kindly upon both Iranian diplomatic entreaties and Palestinian efforts to secure unilateral recognition—a stance that directly contradicts the administration’s commitment to direct talks.
