What are we going to do without him? So, sorry.

Deepest sympathies to Ambassador Holbrooke's family, friends and colleagues.

His passing is sincerely tragic.  He leaves a huge void in the USA State Department and the USA efforts in some of the most turbulent lands on Earth.

We will all miss him. 

A remarkable career to secure the nation he loved.

Thank you, Richard.

"Tonight America has lost one of its fiercest champions and most dedicated public servants," Clinton said, confirming the death at age 69 of a troubleshooter that the Obama administration named as its main diplomat for the conflict in Afghanistan and Pakistan.  (At the title, please.)
