Clarification. He was born in Lebanon, but moved to America as a teen so I don’t think that qualifies as a foreign national.
He would be a foreign national if he never naturalized as a US citizen.
Lebanese? Good grief. Danny Thomas? Very sorry, couldn’t stop myself.
Seriously, Lebanon? Think CENTCOM. Remember the Lebanese ‘celebrity’ who was able to drive in and out of CENTCOM and who ingratiated herself to all the brass there? She held parties and also invited Middle Eastern movers and shakers. One of the generals was under investigation and - somehow - managed to get through it. I think he later got promoted. General Allen??
