Mitchell finally gets it
When George Mitchell was President Obama's special envoy to the Middle East, he was constantly comparing the Israeli-'Palestinian' conflict to Northern Ireland. Now that he is no longer in the White House, look what he says in this piece in which he says that the 'Palestinian' bid for unilateral statehood at the UN hurts the 'peace process.' Mitchell previously served as a US special envoy to Northern Ireland, where he helped broker a peace deal that established a Protestant-Catholic power-sharing government. But attaining peace in the Middle East is a bigger challenge, he said.Either Mitchell took way too long to get it, or he was letting Obama cue him on what to say while he was working at the White House. If the latter is the case, you have to wonder how and why he put up with it for two years.
"By comparison the Middle East is a much more complicated, difficult situation," he said. "There are many more factors involved."
