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.
He was a typical pompous know-it-all who made sure to perpetuate the image of the Ugly American in every country he was sent to.
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.
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.
"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!
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.
BINGO
Barone, Krauthammer, George Will, Bill O'Reilly, Noonan ... it seems to me that most of the bigname Republican pundits are eager to pepetuate a political aristocracy centered on inside-the-beltway thinking. I wonder which party will benefit from their efforts?
Not a big surprise that these people hate Sarah Palin.
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.
General McChrystal thought he was worthless. I'm on big McChrystal fan (he's an Obama supporter after all), but I agree with him on this assessment.
On the other hand maybe my father had it right when he said, "Nobody is totally worthless.....you can always hold them up as a bad example".
He didn’t die of a heart attack. A ruptured aorta killed him.
Sorry, that's I'm NO big McChrystal fan
I find it interesting how these pinheads, (Barone, Krauthammer, George Will, Bill O’Reilly, Noonan) are just so afraid to call the Obama Administration ‘Socialist’ or even Autocrats....these so called wordsmiths are bamboozled by their lack of intellect & history. None of these scribes & talk meisters are worth warm spit.
Merry Christmas.
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.
