Harkin: Cheney’s comments ‘cowardly’

“When I hear this coming from Dick Cheney, who was a coward, who would not serve during the Vietnam War, it makes my blood boil,” said Harkin.

“He’ll be tough, but he’ll be tough with someone else’s kid’s blood,” said Harkin

Harkin’s voting record on being tough with someone else’s kid’s blood:

Voted NO on $86.5 billion for military operations in Iraq & Afghanistan. (Oct 2003)
Voted YES on authorizing use of military force against Iraq. (Oct 2002)
Voted YES on allowing all necessary forces and other means in Kosovo. (May 1999)
Voted YES on authorizing air strikes in Kosovo. (Mar 1999)

Seems Harkin’s pretty tough with someone else’s kid’s blood.

Cheney’s voting record on the same issue?

He has no record, vice presidents can’t vote unless a tie.

Now, who’s tougher with someone else’s kid’s blood?
