WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration said Tuesday that the reported last words of veteran diplomat Richard Holbrooke, its point person on Afghanistan and Pakistan who passed away this week, were meant as humor.
Administration officials sought to clarify that, according to people who were present, Holbrooke's final words, 'You've got to stop this war in Afghanistan,' were part of a jovial back-and-forth with the medical staff.
'At one point, the medical team said, You've got to relax,' State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters on Tuesday, relaying what he said he had heard from people who were in the room with Holbrooke at George Washington University Hospital. 'And Richard said, I can't relax, I'm worried about Afghanistan and Pakistan."

I do not think Holbrooke said that and I will tell you why on the show.
