“Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has said that if he came to power Republican Senator John McCain would be his top choice for defence secretary.

“I have any number of people that I would make secretary of defence, beginning with our good friend John McCain as an example,” Mr Kerry said.” — The BBC[1]

PS: It’s worth noting that this quote is from May of 2004, more than a year into the war in Iraq.
