Mitchell's Prospects for Lasting Israeli-Palestinian Accord 'Slim to None'

... it's clear to me that they've substituted at this stage process for substance. They have no intention of making major changes in America's approach to the Arab-Israeli issue, because right now, the prospects of any sort of conflict-ending agreement between Israelis and Palenstinians are slim to none.

A very interesting and solid assessment of the situation in the Middle East. Miller is both experienced and realistic in this well-done interview.

A great interview with Mr. Miller bringing up some great points that Clinton and Mitchell should read very carefully. I don't see how Obama is going to do anything that hasn't already been tried, but good luck, he'll need it.

One reason the Palestinian's do not have any new leader's is as soon as Israel finds one they execute him.Makes for some slim picking's.
