Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

U.S. diplomat Richard Holbrooke has died. He recently underwent operations to repair a tear in his aorta, the large artery that moves blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Holbrooke, who had been serving the Obama administration as special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, was stricken on Friday during a meeting at the State Department with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
He was rushed to the hospital for a 20-hour operation that was followed by an additional procedure on Sunday.
Clinton said Monday there has been an "outpouring of support" for Holbrooke from around the world. Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari were among those who called to express their concern.
U.S. President Barack Obama called Holbrooke, who was 69, a "towering figure in American foreign policy." Among his major accomplishments was playing an instrumental role in negotiating the 1995 Dayton Peace Accords that ended the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Eternity is forever...prayers that he accepted Jesus/Yeshuah as his Lord and Savior!
If I am not mistaken Holbrooke is jewish.
What a life he had... screwed up American interests all over the world and now will never have to clean up his messes or explain himself. Perfect life for a lib.
RIP.
Interesting, he was meeting with Hilary.
I’m watching CNN right now. “Moral blah, blah, blah... humanitarian blah, blah, blah.” This guy was a CFR member, part of the Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg Group. He was a one-worlder and once you do away with the facades and flowery words, these people are soulless pieces of walking feces.
If you haven’t done so already, go read up on the UN’s Agenda 21 and see if you don’t agree with me. People have to realize we’re at war with these demons. Holbrooke is headed exactly where he belongs. Say hi to Mark Madoff for us Dick.
He was a bad guy. I don’t usually say that about the recently departed, but it’s just the truth.
Wow! Prayers for the family.
That said, it is not for me to know all the ways that God touches the hearts of humans. But it is my firmest belief that Jesus/Yeshuah is the Messiah/Son of the Living God and is the Salvation of all humans.
He paid the price for ALL mankind...the Jew first...and then the gentile (non-Jew)...
As said, I do not know how He offers His Salvation...but I have faith that no man goes to his eternity without the opportunity to embrace Him.
Being human myself, I am prone to error. I accept the aforementioned humbly and as a matter of heart...and soul.
The Savior has spoken to me...I know He would lose no soul without great effort to show Himself and save that soul.
I pray that Holbrooke accepted the Way.
Maybe the correction has finally started!
I wonder if he was getting in the way of something...Murtha’s timing was also all so convenient.
Obamacare is wonderful how these routine procedures become a death sentence.

“was stricken on Friday during a meeting at the State Department with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton”
Didn’t Bill have some heart issues too? Was he just getting out of a meeting with Hillary too?
Good riddance.
I never liked this man’s politics but may God have mercy on his soul and may his family find comfort during this difficult time. My prayers are for him and his family.
Amen!
