Mitchell is a Disaster :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Stuart Kaufman (United States), Jan 25, 2009 at 16:49

The selection of George Mitchell as "Special Envoy for the Middle East" simply awful. Actually, the selection of anyone as "Special Envoy for the Middle East" is a wrongheaded move. To choose Mitchell compounds the felony.

Injecting the US into the Arab/Israeli situation can only strengthen our enemies. Mitchell will give aid and comfort to those who would destroy Israel.. and us!
