I'm sure you didn't hear of the over 100 endorsements for McCain
from Military Commanders - since the media doesn't share that
information - so here's a list for you
McCain gets support from four former secretaries of state
(Even tho former Secretary of State Colin Powell tossed is hat
towards Obama).
Henry Kissinger, retired Gen. Alexander Haig, Lawrence
Eagleburger and George Shultz all said they would support McCain.
The former heads of the State Department said the senator's
leadership skills, his record and his vision make him the right
choice for president in difficult times.
"The world's challenges are radically changing and our
country needs John McCain's experience and optimism, said
Kissinger, who served as secretary of state from 1973 to 1977 and
won a Nobel Prize for his efforts to end the Vietnam War.
"His record, character, and belief that America's best days
lie ahead make John McCain the right leader for these times, added
Kissinger.
