Where's Holbrooke?

Where's Holbrooke?

Ambassador Richard Holbrooke is Obama’s Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan.

However, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator John Kerry has acted as the senior emissary of the US administration in the three most recent meetings with Hamid Karzai, pressing the President to accept the findings of the Election Complaints Commission.

Holbrooke is reported to have had very stormy relations with Karzai in the past. One person very close to Karzai, in a conversation with me this week, described the ambassador as “that cowboy Holbrooke.”
