Friends and former colleagues say Lawrence S. Eagleburger, the only career foreign service officer to rise to the position of secretary of state, has died.
Word of Eagleburger's death Saturday came from representatives of former President George H.W. Bush and former Secretary of State James Baker.
No other details were immediately available.
Eagleburger, who was 80, was a straightforward diplomat whose exuberant style masked a hard-driving commitment to solving foreign policy problems.

RIP.
I’ll miss the guy, and not just because I remember him testifying before Congress while having a smoke.
A very good man, we could use men like him today. RIP
Good man. May he rest in peace.
R.I.P.
May God bless him. He will be missed.
Godspeed and thank you, Secretary Eagleburger.

Obama Is A Charlatan Says Lawrence Eagleburger
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt0FrgAA0cw&feature=related
RIP..He was a truly Great American!
I am glad we both posted the same videos on his opinion of Obama. I think it only drives the point home more. I remember when he said it and I knew he was right then. How true his words have proven to be over time and his courage to speak out shall surely be missed. Condolences to his family and loved ones.
RIP, Mr. Eagleburger.
Yes. bttt Let’s precisely define his characterization of Obama as a Charlatan - a Mountebank - for good measure:
Former Secretary of State, Lawrence Eagleburger:
“Obama Is A Charlatan .. If he’s elected, God help us.”

[ Charlatan: A flamboyant deceiver; one who attracts customers with tricks or jokes. One who prates much in his own favor, and makes unwarrantable pretensions; a quack; an impostor; an empiric; a mountebank.
Definition of Mountebank: One who mounts a bench or stage in the market or other public place, boasts of his skill in curing diseases, and vends medicines which he pretends are infallible remedies; a quack doctor. ]
I’ve known mr. Eagleburger and his family for 15 years. His wife died less than a year ago and it hurt him to no end. his speech at his wife’s funeral suggested that life without her was boun to be unbearable for him.
“I remember him testifying before Congress while having a smoke”.
...was he really a smoker? 80 isn’t bad then.
RIP! A true patriot!
Larry Eagleburger was a true patriot, may he RIP.
