Reply #15: I Distinctly Heard Dean Say He Would Not Cut Pentagon Spending [View All]

[KittyWampus]

During a debate. Dennis Kucinich said he would cut Pentagon spending and Dean got snippy and said HE woud NOT and went on to link Pentagon spending with protecting the United States from Terrorism.

So if Dean has position papers saying he would trim waste in the Pentagon... Then that means CUTTING Pentagon spending.

And whether you call it "trimming waste" or "cutting the budget" this would not be easy for Dean to do because he would be labelled as "Soft on Defence"- the classic GOP talking point.
