For those that claim that the interviews are hearsay- "In the tape-recorded interview," http://www.yahoo.com/s/469817

Listen to the tape.

FORD =

Was against Freedom's prevailing over Communist Terrorism in Vietnam

FORD =

Was against REAGAN's committment to Victory over Communism during the Cold War

FORD =

Was against BUSH's 9/11 committment to bring Freedom to people around the world as America's own best self-protection against future terrorist attacks here a home

Historical perspective is...
...as Historical perspective does, perhaps..?

So???

[Republican Wildcat]

It looks more like he questions the political handling of it rather than questioning removing Saddam in of itself. This is a misleading headline.

[ErieGeno]

First, Woodward is a POS in my humble opinion to release this information prior to the burial of former president Ford.

Second, if ex-prez Ford felt this way he should have been man enough to say what he thought before he expired.

With all of the spin going on out there it is hard to understand what to believe??????

[woofie]

I can find a hundred people who disagree with him ...ya wanna listen to them?

[TAdams8591]

""I don't think I would have gone to war," Ford told Woodward a little more than a year after President Bush launched the invasion."

The above coming from a wimp and totally ineffective president. We had two horrible choices from both the major parties, for the presidency in "76."

[LADYAK]

I personally think it is terrible to wait until you are dead to come out with criticism against the administration....he should have been man enough to back his statements up when he was alive. While I think he was a good man - I think it was chicken to do this!!!

[bushfamfan]

Nice parting shot.

Why is this news? Has President Gerald Ford suddenly become super relevant to the AP?

[jonrick46]

If President Ford thought we should have used harsher sanctions rather than take out the Hussein regime, I would see it as a product of the bad information that has been generated by the press. The press has created a false picture of the War on Terrorism to use as a hammer against the Bush Administration. Ford as president, knew what it was like to be hounded by the press for every little slip up. He knew that the press would, like vulchers, do every thing they could to take down the Bush Administration. Ford thought that it would be better to play it safe and go the diplomatic route in Iraq.

President Bush is a different man than President Ford. President Bush is a hero because he has the courage to make the right decision with Iraq. He did it knowing the political sacrifice he would have to endure because of the Commie press in America.

[Nevermore]

And this is significant because...?
Gerald Ford was the Casper Milquetoast - or better yet, the Charlie Brown of presidents. That's not to bad-mouth Charlie Brown or Gerald Ford: I just didn't want Charlie Brown or Ford for president. It was obvious that he just wasn't up to it.

[KenmcG414]

Who really gives a rat's rear end what Ford thought. They liked Ford because as minority leader he kow-towed to the RATS and was always on the losing end. His presidency was lacklustre at best.

So did Saddam Hussine.
