GERALD FORD SLAMS BUSH FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE
Gerald Ford, who died Tuesday, BLASTED President Bush yesterday:
“I don’t think I would have gone to war. Rumsfeld and Cheney and the president made a big mistake in justifying going into the war in Iraq. They put the emphasis on weapons of mass destruction,” Ford said. “And now, I’ve never publicly said I thought they made a mistake, but I felt very strongly it was an error in how they should justify what they were going to do.”
Damn. Even dead people think Iraq is an ill-conceived disaster.
Ford’s comments were culled from a four hour-long interview conducted as book research, and were to be released only after Ford’s death. Sort of a little, now I’m dead so here’s the REAL truth, sort of deal. If you are interested in this kind of thing AT ALL, then you should read this article. It made President Ford more interesting to me than he has ever been. Fascinating and candid insight on people like Cheney, who worked under him. I also really liked the depiction of Henry Kissinger as a thin-skinned little crybaby. Nice.
i read the title of this before i had heard the news that Ford had died.
when i saw “GERALD FORD SLAMS BUSH FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE” i was REALLY hoping for something involving zombies or mummies or maybe Michael Jackson’s Thriller even.
