I have read and reread that article linked from Drugde and I cannot find anywhere in there that even mentions George Mitchell..............where did this report come from?
Shoot, I can't even GET to Drudge by using the link. All I know is it was attributed to an item on Drudge, but that was HOURS ago Howlin and it might have been taken down by now...
Chafee, who was defeated for reelection, issued a statement reiterating his opposition. " Mr. Bolton did not demonstrate the kind of collaborative approach that I believe will be called for if we are to restore the United States ' position as the strongest country in a peaceful world," he said. "This would be an appropriate time to choose a nominee who has a proven ability to work with both sides of the political aisle, a history of building strong international relationships and a reputation of respect for the institution of the United Nations. The names Brent Scowcroft and George Mitchell come to mind immediately as outstanding candidates. " There's no word from White House yet on whom it might nominate as Bolton's replacement.
