To which Edwardss rebutted:
Quote:
John Kerry has voted for the biggest military appropriations bill in the country's history. John Kerry has voted for the biggest intelligence appropriations in the country's history.
This vice president, when he was secretary of defense, cut over 80 weapons systems, including the very ones he's criticizing John Kerry for voting against. These are weapons systems, a big chunk of which, the vice president himself suggested we get rid of after the Cold War.
The reality is that John Kerry has consistently supported the very men that he served with in Vietnam and led.
On the $87 billion, it was clear at the time of that vote that they had no plan to win the peace. We're seeing the consequences of that everyday on the ground right now.
We stood up and said: For our troops, we must have a plan to win the peace.
We also thought it was wrong to have a $20 billion fund out of which $7.5 billion was going to go to a no-bid contract for Halliburton, the vice president's former company.
It was wrong then. It's wrong now.

Personally, I felt that Cheney gave a very strong serve, but I also felt Edwards returned it just as hard. Hardly game set and match.
Not to mention the press is really picking up on the "before tonight I'd never met Sen. Edwards" LIE that Cheney told.
I was halfway expecting Cheney to leap across the table and start choking Edwards.[/quote]
