Bush Gets Boost From McCain on Iraq

FORT LEWIS, Wash. (AP) - Before cheering troops, President Bush got a strong endorsement on Iraq and a boost for his re-election campaign Friday from Sen. John McCain, the Arizona Republican courted by Democrat John Kerry to be his running mate.

Bush seemed to relish keeping McCain, his one-time rival for the presidency, out of Kerry's corner.

"Both candidates in this race are honored to be a friend of John McCain," Bush said at a campaign rally in Nevada. "Only one of us gets his vote. And I am proud that it is me."

McCain issued dire warnings about the threat from terrorists and backed the war to oust Saddam Hussein in words matching the starkest language Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have employed. The support from McCain came as the president is trying to counter rising questions about the invasion.
