Bush and McCain support the troops, right? Well, not necessarily

The American Legion has COME OUTÂ in favor of Democratic Sen. Jim Webb’s bill to expand benefits for returning veterans.
President Bush opposes the measure, and John McCain has resisted Webb’s entreaties to co-sponsor the bill.
Barack Obama CRITICIZED McCain’s posture on the matter in a speech today in West Virginia.
I wonder if McCain’s reluctance has anything to do with the fact that Webb is said to be on Obama’s short list of possible running mates. But no, he wouldn’t put partisan politics ahead of the interests of veterans, would he?
