Good grief!

What a shameless puff piece about a guy that is a disgrace. One less vile person, is a good thing.

As far as I can see, Holbrooke worked tirelessly to make sure that America never won a war.

Holbrooke was scum.

Next one up should be Mitchell.

Well, I had held Barone in high regard until now.
He has dropped a few notches.

and he became known for a memo prepared during the Johnson administration that described the war effort there as unwinnable.

Isn't it a General's job to make that assessment? I'm not glad the man is dead, but I'm glad he's not influencing US foreign efforts anymore.

Barone admits (of Holbrooke):
"In the last decade, he backed Al Gore, John Kerry and Hilary Clinton for president..."
And yet he claims:
"He was, in other words, a Democrat in the tradition of Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy, and not in the mold of many democratic leaders in the four post-Vietnam decades."
As if a Truman or JFK would have backed any of that American Surrender trifecta! Barone can't seem to see or think his way clear of his Washington aristocracy loyalties. Pathetic!

e presided masterfully over the talks at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, and his Dayton Accords brought peace to Bosnia that has now lasted a decade and a half

Mostly through ethnic cleansing. The lasting peace will come when the Muslims are booted from Europe once and for all, but that might take 100 years. It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

Holbrooke was a tool of the liberal agenda. He worked for every Dem Prez since Kennedy.

Barone has it all wrong on this one.

The USA fought on the wrong side and we used our power to help the muzzies kill the Christians in an ethnic war that has been going on for centuries.

This is really one that our pretender, kenyan, halfrican can really get behind.

He didn’t die of a heart attack. A ruptured aorta killed him.

From all that’s been written since his death about Holbrooke, it seems like there’s one English word that could pretty much encapsulate the essence of the man. From what I can tell, “asshole” pretty much sums it up.

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?

Holbrooke was a globalist one-worlder. Pure evil.

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