DAVENPORT, Iowa - Republican Mitt Romney aligned himself squarely with President Bush and his national security policies Wednesday, reaching out to GOP loyalists who hold Bush in high regard, back the Iraq war and could sway the nomination race.
"I support our troops, and I support what our troops are doing. I also support our president. I believe that the president has acted in good faith and out of a desire to protect this country, to do everything in his power to keep America safe," the former Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate said.
Romney's staunch defense of Bush came a few days after rival Mike Huckabee criticized the Bush administration's efforts in a Foreign Affairs journal article.
