SIMI VALLEY, Calif., March 17 — In a blistering critique of Senator John Kerry's record on military issues, Vice President Dick Cheney on Wednesday portrayed the Democratic presidential candidate as weak, inconsistent and a threat to the security of the nation.
"Whatever the explanation, whatever nuances he might fault us for neglecting," Mr. Cheney said in a speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library here, "it is not an impressive record for someone who aspires to become commander in chief in this time of testing for our country."
He added: "The senator from Massachusetts has given us ample doubts about his judgment and the attitude he brings to bear on vital issues of national security."
