Dirty tactics in the presidential race

[Happy Monkey]

Indeed. The so-called "Schwarzkopf" call is a fake. He is not endorsing Kerry. General McPeak is, andd he's the one who made the call. Here's the original(wav).

According to the DNC:

"This is a desperate, pathetic, 11th hour dirty trick by the Republicans. In an effort to gin up a last minute media controversy and smear the Democrats, the Republicans intentionally spliced a recorded call by Four Star General 'Tony' McPeak and tried to peddle it to the press. This type of dishonesty is a fitting end to George W. Bush's failed Presidency, a Presidency that unfortunately for the American people, was also defined by deceit and deception."

I don't blame Schwarzkopf, I suspect someone just gave him the spliced tape, and he was justifiably outraged.
