I just thought I would post the summaries of those articles you cited.TWAnr said:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kerry voted often against nuclear missiles and bombers in the '90s, but GOP claims that he opposed a long list of conventional weapons are overblown.
Bush’s campaign chairman Marc Racicot on Feb. 22 accused Kerry of “voting against the weapons systems that are winning the War on Terror†and says Kerry was for "canceling or cutting funding for the B-2 Stealth Bomber, the B-1B, the F-15, the F-16, the M1 Abrams, the Patriot Missile, the AH-64 Apache Helicopter, the Tomahawk Cruise Missile, and the Aegis Air-Defense Cruiser." Another Bush campaign spokesman said Kerry has a "32-year history of voting to cut defense programs and cut defense systems" (a clear impossibility since Kerry has been in office less than 20 years.)
It's true Kerry expressed opposition to those weapons 20 years ago as a candidate, voted against Pentagon budgets several times as a senator in the early and mid-1990's, and proposed cuts in military and intelligence budgets as deficit-reduction measures as recently as 1996.
But Kerry's votes against specific military hardware were mostly against strategic nuclear weapons including the B-2 bomber, Trident missile and anti-missile items, not against conventional equipment such as tanks. And Kerry has a point when he says “I've voted for some of the largest defense and intelligence budgets in our history,†which is correct. He's voted for military spending bills regularly since 1997.

More Bush Distortions of Kerry Defense Record
Latest barrage of ads repeats misleading claims that Kerry "repeatedly opposed" mainstream weapons.
Bush ads released April 26 recycle some distortions of Kerry's voting record on military hardware. We've de-bunked these half-truths before but the Bush campaign persists.
The ads -- many targeted to specific states -- repeat the claim that Kerry opposed a list of mainstream weapons including Bradley Fighting Vehicles and Apache helicopters, and also repeat the claim that he voted against body armor for frontline troops in Iraq. In fact, Kerry voted against a few large Pentagon money bills, of which Bradleys, Apaches and body armor were small parts, but not against those items specifically.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
President claims 1995 Kerry plan would "gut" the intelligence services. It was a 1% cut, and key Republicans approved something similar.
The Bush campaign accused Kerry of "a pattern" of trying to cut intelligence funding. Bush personally accused Kerry of attempting to "gut the intelligence services" with a "deeply irresponsible" 1995 proposal.
It's true that Kerry proposed cuts in 1994 and 1995, and the his 1994 proposal was criticized on the Senate floor by some members of his own party. But the proposal Bush criticized would have amounted to a reduction of roughly 1%. And senior congressional Republicans supported a cut two-thirds as large at the time.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow, that last one was a doosie. I guess its ok if the republucans wanna cut a billion, but dont dare cut 1.5 billion. That half a billion just made you "weak" on defense.
And heres a little bit on how "strong" your boy Cheney is on defense:
Cheney: The Army, as I indicated in my earlier testimony, recommended to me that we keep a robust Apache helicopter program going forward, AH-64; . . . I forced the Army to make choices. I said, "You can't have all three. We don't have the money for all three." So I recommended that we cancel the AH-64 program two years out. That would save $1.6 billion in procurement and $200 million in spares over the next five years.
Two years later Cheney's Pentagon budget also proposed elimination of further production of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle as well. It was among 81 Pentagon programs targeted for termination, including the F-14 and F-16 aircraft. "Cheney decided the military already has enough of these weapons," the Boston Globe reported at the time.
Does that make Cheney an opponent of "weapons vital to winning the war on terror?" Of course not. But by the Bush campaign's logic, Cheney himself would be vulnerable to just such a charge, and so would Bush's father, who was president at the time.
Isnt politics funny that way? Funny how Bushies little comercials left that stuff out.
Well A10(sic), you cant vote for Kerry cause of the Bull!@#$ reasons you sighted. And I guess you cant vote for Bush, unless you want to support Cheney, But then you would be a hypocrite right? What about Nader?
and so many unanswered questions..... Why are people who profit from war being allowed to make decisions in our government?
More unanswered questions:
Whatever happened with the investigation into pre-9/11 insider trading, the unusual volume of options that were sold the week before 9/11 on companies that stood to lose money after the attacks? (Fox News Sept. 20, 2001)
Why was the Pakistani Air Force allowed to airlift hundreds of Taliban fighters out of Kunduz shortly before it fell? (MSNBC, November 29, 2001)
Why was a Net Jet, owned by Omaha billionaire Warren Buffet, tracking Flight 93 when it crashed? Is this why Bush went to Omaha that day? (AP August 9, 2002)
Why was the Bin Laden family allowed to charter a jet and return to Saudi Arabia before being questioned by the FBI?
Why did the White House staff start taking Cipro on September 11, more than a month before the anthrax attacks?
Why are so many Americans so stupid that they want to re-elect this dope?

You are taking information from wacko conspiracy theory sites. Your credibility is zero.

Oddly enough, I'm reading a book by David Brock called "Blinded by the right". He wrote "the real Anita Hill" for the American Spectator. And he detailed how Troopergate, Whitewater, Vincent Foster's death and Clintons role in it, and Monicagate were all pretty much funded by whacko conspiracy theory groups.A10Pilot said:
It appears you don't understand the proper use of the term 'sic'. Please review your grammar rules.
Kerry is more left than Kennedy or Clinton. He is soft on defense and national security in a time of a desperate fight against terrorists who want to destroy our way of life. You can call that 'Bull!@#$ reasons ' - I take our nation's security far too seriously for that.
The preponderance of votes and rhetoric over their entire time in elected and appointed office is clear: comparing Cheney and Kerry on National Defense is like comparing Lombardi and McKay.

I understand the proper use of the term 'sic'. It was a joke. Get it?A10Pilot said:
You can keep saying what you want, but that doesnt make it true.
Every criticism and distortion you have brought to this forum has been thoroughly debunked.
I bring facts where you bring rhetoric and myth.
