Ping!!!

The WaPo will never tell you that Mitchell is of Arabic ancestry (Lebanese) on his mother's side and he was raised in an Arab-American environment in Maine by his mother and her relatives. (He got the family name Mitchell through a father of Irish ancestry who left the family when George Jr. was very young. Mitchell's Irish ancestry, though much played up by the Clintonistas when they sent him to Northern Ireland, had very little influence on his formative identity.)

Mitchell has also been affiliated with and spoken before Arab-interest groups in the US during the time he was in the Senate.

So he's hardly entering as a neutral in O's Israel-Arab "peace" process.

Thanks justiceseeker93. In addition, Holbrooke was involved in the destruction of Yugoslavia and creation of a Moslem terrorist enclave.

I don't think the Lebanese Christian ancestry is a problem. Consider Brigitte Gabriel. I think George Mitchell has the same problems as people who might have been born in Arkansas.

I would think people who are elected or accepting positions in our government would want the public to know. It is their responsibility to tell us.
