Special
Representative Richard Holbrooke has received a clean bill of
health after
having his heart valves checked today and will go with General
David Petraeus to Afghanistan next week after all.
New
America Foundation's Steve
Clemons
has the news on the Washington
Note.
I
have learned just an hour ago that the angiogram showed the best
possible results. There was no significant obstruction that required
intervention.
Richard Holbrooke
has been cleared to travel with General Petraeus to Afghanistan.
In fact,
Holbrooke spoke to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton directly and
she cleared the trip.
I can also report
that Holbrooke is in excellent spirits -- though he seemed in
excellent spirits when he presided over an all staff meeting Tuesday
this week and had not yet informed his team of this potential health
challenge.
So good news on
the Holbrooke health front.
