Holbrooke Thought Highly of Himself, for Good Reason

Holbrooke was on the AIG Board of Directors during the credit swaps/default days while locking in corporate bonuses for "his work". Quit two months before the poop hit the fan in 2008.

For overseeing the financial aspect of crashing the “system”, I would say Holbrooke was 100x worse than Madoff.

Forgot the cronyism/Bill Clinton part. Holbrooke managed to secure cushy loans through Countrywide for himself and his son. Thus, on par with the “Bill Clinton types”.

Thanks for the link. The photo says it all:

A picture of the surrender mindset: Holbrooke goes shoeless to sit with a booted armed Albanian Muslim gunman. (But if he loosened his tie he could appear relaxed.)

Holbrooke, the KLA pimp and totalitarian globalist who is worthy of earthly admiration.

I’m not a doctor (nor do I play one on TV), but isn’t a tear in the aorta a completely different thing from a heart attack?

Now Now,, don’t go insulting the Punditocracy.

They know what they’re talking about.. it’s written on the teleprompters they read from..

Holbrooke was a globalist one-worlder. Pure evil.

Yep. That's my assessment as well. "Making peace" is easy when you just throw in the towel.

Holbrooke's "hard work" consisted almost entirely of getting others on the American side to go along with his cut and run prescriptions.

I'd piss on his grave and go back and drink to do it some more.

I agree that Holbroke was America's "Peace in Our Time" Chamberlain ...

It took Chamberlain less than one year after Munich to figure out that Hitler had snookered him.

After that, he had the decency to resign and make way for Churchill.

from what I read, he went straight from college into the govt and never looked back...never faced a layoff or a company bankruptcy, or no medical or vacation, or worried about being phased out, etc....

he was a political hack first and foremost...

God bless him and his family, but seriously, Oprah Winfrey is a better American diplomat than these hired guns and she's an entertainer!

I agree. If he had kicked the bucket 20 years ago, we’d all be better off.

Holbrooke thought highgly of himself. Or, in plain English, he was full of himself.

Are you sure you aren’t thinking of Gen. McKenzie?

Maybe that’s where my Dad heard it.
