Cheney bush kerry fight about vietnam records { April 27 2004 } Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/nation/ny-uscamp273774725apr27,0,7678199.story?coll=ny-nationalnews-headlines http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/nation/ny-uscamp273774725apr27,0,7678199.story?coll=ny-nationalnews-headlines FOR THE WHITE HOUSE Cheney launches attack as Kerry defends war record THE ASSOCIATED PRESS April 27, 2004 Vice President Dick Cheney said yesterday John Kerry "has given us ample grounds to doubt" his judgment on national security even as the Democratic National Committee chairman urged the White House to stop such attacks. "Call off the Republican attack dogs," DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe told reporters in Washington. Meanwhile, Cheney told a crowd at Westminster College in Fulton, Mo., that Kerry wavered in views on ousting Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein as well as the strength of the Persian Gulf war coalition built by then-President George Bush. The vice president dug up several quotes in which Kerry supported removal of Saddam Hussein and praised the effort of the elder Bush. The vice president also criticized Kerry for supporting military budget and intelligence cuts during his terms as Massachusetts senator. Cheney's speech coincides with a $10-million TV advertising spree by Bush's re-election campaign, starting this week, that seeks to portray Kerry as weak on national security. "George Bush has sent Dick Cheney to kick off a misleading ad campaign attacking John Kerry's commitments to defending America. And Dick Cheney is still able to stand by with a straight face and watch these attacks unfold," McAuliffe said during a news conference. Also yesterday, Kerry, a decorated Navy veteran criticized by Republicans for his anti-war activities during the Vietnam era, lashed out at Bush for failing to prove he fulfilled his commitment to the National Guard during the same period. Critics have questioned whether Kerry deserved all three of his Purple Hearts for battle wounds, an issue he sought to put to rest last week by releasing his military records. On Sunday, a Bush aide criticized Kerry for leading anti-war protests after he returned from the battlefield. "This comes from a president who can't even show or prove that he showed up for duty in the National Guard," Kerry said yesterday in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America." "And I'm not going to stand for it." The controversy over the medals overshadowed the start of Kerry's three-day bus tour of four manufacturing states expected to be pivotal in this year's election, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan. Kerry began the tour in Wheeling, W.Va., with a speech accusing Bush of failing to enforce trade rules that protect U.S. workers. Copyright © 2004, Newsday, Inc.
