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."

They come out of the woodwork when the weather changes, don’t they?
Further evidence we Conservatives were sold out long ago.
How anyone in their right mind could endorse the beast for the presidency based on her foreign policy chops is beyond me.
These are all globalist status quoers.
91 years old, how much mental capacity does he have left? This statement was likely written for him, I would like to see him deliver it verbally and defend it in a press conference.
Brent Scowcroft has apparently lost his mind.
Wow. Another Bush adviser demonstrates what they are really made of.
Again, George HW Bush was Reagans' worst mistake.
Just a confirmation of where his heart has always been, I wonder if he Remembers exactly how much Cocaine he had Oliver North Smuggle in to the US??
Indeed, they are all in their 90’s, and they created the mess in their younger years. Bush senior should have economic sanctioned Chinese commies after the Beijing massacre in 1989, instead he secretly sent in Scowcroft to kowtow Beijing and granted them the most favorite nation on trade. The decay of US manufacture started under the watch of Bush I.
Yep, dementia is a terrible thing.
Ford....GHW Bush....enough said.
Another mask drops.
Guess he didn’t get the message about which way the wind is blowing. I feel like it’s 1980 all over again.
HuH?
add Colin Powell to that group..
No fool like an old fool.
I notice that he wasn't National Security Advisor for Reagan. Very telling. He is just a GOPe hack.
Two things, they have him with young boys or he is promised a job
I still think it might be effective if Trump ran an ad highlighting all the republicans (mostly neo-con artists and open borders types) who are supporting Hillary or opposing Trump. Do most democrats really want to vote for someone who has the support of people like the Bushes, Scrowcroft, Romney, Kristol, etc., etc.
