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."

Wasn’t GHWB forced upon Reagan by the establishment Republicans, at the time?

Another globalist elitist outs himself when the chips are down.

How any thinking American can support The Witch is beyond me.

I always thought Scocroft was a phony, overrated buffoon. My instincts have, yet again, been proven correct.

Scocroft: Go to h377.

I knew Bush was no real conservative also. Just a speed bump to the full throttle attack that’s upon us now.

That's my understanding as well.

HW Bush was a disaster.

Anyone endorsing Clinton shall forever remain on the “do not trust” list and their statements and opinions will be met with skepticism, scorn or derision. They cannot be trusted. Ever.

“Further evidence we Conservatives were sold out long ago.”

Amazing isn’t it.

Thanks to Trump for flushing the Gope Rats out into the open!

How many more of the BushCo Thugs are still in camo as conservatives?

Before the last 16 years, I was suspect that the GOPE had sold us out. These last 16 years have confirmed it. When Queereye Trent Lott and Fred Thompson refused to impeach Clinton I had my doubts and now they have been entirely removed.

This Republican traitor was one of the first to come out and publicly state that we are going to have to give up the sovereignty of our States and Nation to be a player in the New World Order...

Excellent article here...

It wasn’t just the decline of our manufacturing, this event started our decline as a world power to where we are today.

Thanks for posting this!

“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
