WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Vice President Dick Cheney, who often serves as the administration's point man in attacking White House hopeful John Kerry, was the subject of a blistering critique by a key Democratic leader on Monday.
....
"Apparently, two tours in Vietnam, a Silver Star, a Bronze Star, and Three Purple Hearts weren't good enough for the folks who never miss a chance to say that military service shouldn't be an issue in this campaign."
....
McAuliffe charged that Cheney, as secretary of defense during the administration of Bush's father, worked to cut defense programs such as the M-1 tank, B-2 bomber, AH-64 Apache helicopter and F-16 fighter jets.
Some of those weapons and equipment, McAuliffe said, "our troops are using right now in Iraq."
Republicans are attacking Kerry on the very same issue.
