Cheney has criticized Kerry for his votes to cut Intelligence, the vote against funding the troops in Iraq, cutting the B2, the F-16, the Apache, the Tomahawk and the Bradley.

Cheney is on record as DoD Secretary as saying he did not need anymore M-1s, F-14s, or F-16s , but this is not even close to being the CUTS which Kerry proposed and voted for. Kerry cuts include:

- Cutting 1.5 Billion from intelligence spending (at a time when we demonstrably needed more intellegence - post WTC attack # 1)
- Elimination of all funding for the B2
- Limiting F-16 production to 6 (not even enough to keep the Thunderbirds in the air)
- Against funding for the troops in Iraq (yes this includes the body armour that Kerry criticized Bush for not providing)

and on and on and on

Selby and Specter are not running for President, when they do, we can discuss their record on defense.

Kerry campaigned for congress on a platform of cutting defense and intelligence. In this he kept his promise.
