BTW - just like it is somewhat misleading that kerry voted against the $87B before.....

Cheney was a major part of the reform movement in the congress in the early '80s who were working with Boyd and the acolytes in the pentagon to circumvent the normal corrupt R & D process. so he did vote against versions of each of the programs, but not the programs themselves.
example: the original bradley design was so flawed that the army didn't want to live fire test it before production. when they were forced to they tried using a half charge rpg, and filled the gas tanks with water so that it wouldn't explode.
the F15 and F16's that the old line pentagon brass were trying to push through were nearly double their needed wait and goldplated with useless features - cheney campaigned against these iterations of the design.

but cheney realizes that if he tries to explain that he will come off sounding like kerry with his 10 different reasons for his vote.
