Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger lent his support to Republican presidential candidate John McCain at a Manhattan fundraiser Thursday.

``I think that the most important quality for a president is character,'' Kissinger said. ``All the decisions that the president has to decide, the most important ones are very close decisions. And I have great confidence that John will help us solve the toughest problem for any administration and for our country - to take us from where we are to where we haven't been, and I think John is the man to do this.''

South America and Chile are so jubilant about this they are taking to the streets this past week.

1. Getting an endorsement from a war criminal is always a feather in the cap

for a Republican. John must be thrilled having the blessing of Kissinger

6. One warcriminal and traitor to another needs no endorsements.

Gee, I don't even have to say which war criminal or traitor that I am talking about.
You all can paint your own picture.

LOL....you get the idea.

NEW YORK (APBnews.com) -- The voters who were drawn to John S. McCain in his run for the Republican presidential nomination this year often cited, as the core of his appeal, his openness and blunt candor and willingness to admit past lapses and release documents that other senators often hold back. These qualities also seemed to endear McCain to the campaign press corps, many of whom wrote about how refreshing it was to travel on the McCain campaign bus, "The Straight Talk Express," and observe a maverick speaking his mind rather than a traditional candidate given to obfuscation and spin.

But there was one subject that was off-limits, a subject the Arizona senator almost never brings up and has never been open about -- his long-time opposition to releasing documents and information about American prisoners of war in Vietnam and the missing in action who have still not been accounted for. Since McCain himself, a downed Navy pilot, was a prisoner in Hanoi for 5 1/2 years, his staunch resistance to laying open the POW/MIA records has baffled colleagues and others who have followed his career. Critics say his anti-disclosure campaign, in close cooperation with the Pentagon and the intelligence community, has been successful. Literally thousands of documents that would otherwise have been declassified long ago have been legislated into secrecy.
