His qualifications were so great and unique, there was no need to look for
reasons to disqualify him since he was obviously the best man for the job.

I see no effort to conceal ANYTHING. No one ever denied his heritage, and
there's no reason to deny him any position just because YOU have a problem
with it, hater.

WHAT dual nationality?

he's not a live human being, he's actually one of those losing confederate
hillbilly traitors
they dug up and restored, not too well I might add, with robotic controls,
he's controlled from cheney's office, that's why the fat ass criminal
doesn't want any investigation, might upset the whore running
southern baptists
somebody needs to rebury that putrid piece of hillbilly rotting meat

If it was concealed, how did you learn about this? What difference does it
make that he has concealed Israeli roots? Who has faced the threat of
terrorism and who probably has the most direct experience in dealing with
such threats, than the Israeli's?
