WASHINGTON, June 23 (UPI) -- Brent Scowcroft, former national security adviser for Republican Presidents Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush, has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.

Scowcroft, 91, released a statement laying out his official endorsement Wednesday.

"Secretary Clinton shares my belief that America must remain the world's indispensable leader," Scowcroft said, praising her experience as secretary of state. "She understands that our leadership and engagement beyond our borders makes the world, and therefore the United States, more secure and prosperous. She appreciates that it is essential to maintain our strong military advantage, but that force must only be used as a last resort."

The presumptive Democratic nominee "brings deep expertise in international affairs, and a sophisticated understanding of the world," elements Scowcroft said were "essential for the commander-in-chief."

This makes me feel better about not voting for his effete, globalist boss in 1992. I got snookered in ‘88, thinking that Bush the Elder would be Reagan’s 3rd term, but I woke up.

Who needs this senile old bastard? Fade away, Brent, you had your moment in the sun.

He’s over 90, and shilling for the Bushes, who gave him a nice job. No blackmail needed, no job desired.

If you loved W, you’ll love Hillary. Bushes and Clintons are two sides of the same coin.

He’s got as much credibility as a drooling Andy Griffith endorsing Obama.

Agree with you, though. These folks are incredible.

“The decay of US manufacture started under the watch of Bush I”

To be precise it was June 13, 1992 when he signed on to Agenda 21:

“We’ve signed a climate convention. We’ve asked others to join us in presenting action plans for the implementation of the climate convention. We’ve won agreement on forest principles. We found a warm reception among the G - 7 and many developing countries to our Forests for the Future initiative. Many U.S. proposals on oceans and public participation on the importance of economic instruments and free markets were included in this mammoth Agenda 21 document and the Rio Declaration”. -GHW BUSH

Scowcroft said, praising her experience as secretary of state.

Jughead needs to tell that to the families of Ron Doherty, Tyrone Woods, Sean Smith and Christopher Stevens. They'd probably tell him that he's FOS.

He’s a statist Bushie dirtbag. I’m sure this will not alter the dynamics of the election by so much as one vote.

They are all elitist pigs and cringe at the thought that the tide is turning and we have had enough of their crap.

How can these people possibly say that Hillary’s leadership makes us more secure and prosperous after the mess she made in th ME? It’s mind boggling.
