Bush I state of union speech 92 - cuts, cuts, cuts to defense budget

[bobbieinok]

Randi reading from it all the cuts. (Portland, OR)

Now Kerry who voted for this is attacked but Cheney and Powell advised this. And now they are attacking him for these votes.

Absolutely brilliant. Will there be a transcript?

2. That's only the "start" of what they had in mind!

The subsequent cuts that were to follow during their elusive 2nd term would have been right on par with what occured under Clinton.

I love bringing this up when anybody accuses Clinton of "slashing" the Military (especially when I remind them that Cheney was then Sec of Defense).

This is ad material though! Kerry's folks need to jump on this!

If we don't hammer * with this info we only have ourselves to blame for not countering the RW.

4. Here's some Bush quotes, SOTU speech 1992....

Two years ago, I began planning cuts in military spending that reflected the changes of the new era. But now, this year, with Imperial Communism gone, that process can be accelerated. Tonight I can tell you of dramatic changes in our strategic nuclear force. These are actions we are taking on our own, because they are the right thing to do.

After completing 20 planes for which we have begun procurement, we will shut down production of the B-2 bomber. We will cancel the ICBM program. We will cease production of new warheads for our sea-based missiles. We will stop all production of the peacekeeper missile. And we will not purchase any more advanced cruise missiles.
