Great, just great...George Mitchell is not only a Democrat with less than stellar national security credentials, but he's decidedly unfriendly to our only true friend in the Mideast, Israel. The only realistic choice that would've been worse was to name James Baker.
Good job, George - keep sending our enemies the message that we're weak and easily cowed. Just make sure that you stock up on food, buses, tents and radiation meters, because we're going to need them all.
He didn't even nominate him and you're already trashing the President? Although I suspect you've never *stopped* trashing him so really I shouldn't be surprised.
