Wow. I participated in several meetings last year with Holbrooke when I was deployed to Afghanistan. He was abrasive and single-minded with many. With my team (we were helping the Afghans run their presidential election) he was much kinder. Like him or dislike him, he was as effective as probably any senior diplomat could be in the complex situation that is Afghanistan. This is a blow to our effort in Afghanistan, make no mistake.

All these threads about famous people dying! Why no threads about famous people being born?

Well, his timing for an injury was good. It was before Obama care. 69 years old....20 hours of surgery....Under Obama care he would have been left to die. Oh wait a second, I guess that only applies to us ‘regular’ citizens.

Condolences to his family and friends. Can’t say I ever really liked him much but he was always brave enough to go on Fox News and take the heat and represent his point of view.

He was as responsible as anyone for the disastrous mess in Yugoslavia. As a private person, I wish him well. But he was definitely the kind of foreign policy guy you would expect clinton and obama to choose.

Holbrooke on board of directors of the CFR
Also a member of the Trilateral Commision
Regularly attended Bildeburger group.

One less new world order globalist puke as far as I’m concerned.

Condolences to the family left behind.

when I read yesterday on FR that obamanation said he was praying for Holbrooke, I knew that it was all over but the crying. muslims pray for evil against unbelievers.

From what I know about him, he was a complicated guy. Some liked him and many disliked him. My understanding was that you didn’t want him as an enemy. Many in the military couldn’t stand him. So I can’t say much except RIP.

Holbrooke spun with the best of them during the Clinton years.

He was as far left as they come.

How does one get a “torn Aorta” anyway? Does it happen when you are stretching it too much? I try to be more careful with mine. We only toss it around when we are on padded carpet, and all tosses are underhanded.
