Oliver North: "We Need John McCain as Commander in Chief"

Oliver North expresses his personal gratitude to John McCain, talks of McCain's sons in military service, and remembers how Republicans sat on the sidelines and cost him his own Senate race -- and then endorses John McCain for President.

...The election in November will determine how we proceed on the most profoundly important matter confronting our nation: the crucial outcome of an unprovoked war being waged against us by radical Islam. All other issues, as important as they are, pale in comparison to achieving victory over those who seek to destroy our very way of life.

Sen. McCain has pledged to win this war. We must do so, for the consequences of failure would be staggering. But as he has acknowledged, he cannot do that without the support of conservatives who man the phone banks, raise the funds, walk the precincts and turn out the vote on Election Day. I hope my fellow conservatives will decide as I have: We need John McCain as commander in chief.

And, by the way, such is the belief of Jack Kemp too.
