Haig, Kissinger, Schultz, Eagleburger Back McCain Bid
The campaign of presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain got a major boost Tuesday when four former secretaries of state announced they were endorsing his run for the White House in 2008. Henry Kissinger, retired Gen. Alexander Haig, Lawrence Eagleburger and George Schultz all said they would support the Arizona Republican, citing his leadership skills, his record and his "vision,” the Washington, D.C.-based publication The Hill reported. "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. Eagleburger, who was secretary under President George H.W. Bush, said: "As our country adjusts to new challenges, John McCain’s experience and record as a common-sense conservative make him the best candidate for our country’s future.”

With the war in Iraq a central issue in the campaign, endorsements from the experienced foreign policy officials could help McCain’s struggling campaign, according to The Hill. McCain said the former secretaries "share optimism in America and dedication to winning the war on terror.”
