So Ford DID support the war in Iraq. I knew that Woodward was lying. It's not the first time and it won't be the last.
I actually tend to agree with Ford if this claim is correct.
If one reads Woodward's words carefully, it's obvious the man used Ford's quotes to his advantage. I can't decide which is more disgusting - that or his his timing.
Impossible to decide. And on top of that, because of what Woodward is saying, there are people who are revising their opinion of Ford and not to his credit, and Ford cannot defend himself. What a despicable worm Woodward is.
Once a scavenger, always a scavenger.
Except if you really look at Bush's pre-war speeches, Bush used 4 points to support the war and the one concerning weapons of mass destruction was not that Saddam had nukes, but that he was working to get nukes, which was true. It was only to the UN where we really pushed the issue of weapons of mass destruction.
Me to.
And that was because it was the only way Blair and Britain would have come along. Despite all the valour shown by the British soldiers it turned out to be a bad bargain.
.
Make that 'me too'.
"But he didn't like Bush's domestic surveillance program. "It may be a necessary evil," he conceded. "I don't think it's a terrible transgression, but I would never do it. I was dumbfounded when I heard they were doing it."
Last time I heard the DSP is a deliberate misstatement of the DBM concerning the Data Mining technique of linking phone numbers to phone numbers.
Domestic listing is not happening without court order.
Sort of a give away.
If Journalism, as an industry, had any integrity left, they would pillory Woodward. He has been shamelessly printing lies for decades, but they do not denounce him. Instead, they hold him up as an icon as to what a good Journalist ought to be: in short, an anti-Republican activist.
Yep ... Sure sounds like Woodward lied
Very nice article about President Ford .. Thank you for the ping, Peach
Let's hear it for professional journalism.
They're not called presstitutes fer nuthin'....
Saw this fellow interviewed on a couple shows last night.He seemed the perfect person to have on to talk about Ford given the circumstances.Of course, his information didn't lead the morning shows this morning, Woodward's did.They are so transparent it is pathetic.
Morning,Bah!
I was just watching CBS where some info babe was interviewing Ford's pastor about the funeral. They segued to Harry Smith who immediately reported Ford said in an interview two years ago he was against the War in Iraq. Then he mentioned the weapons of mass destruction thing.
The overall biggest push was about WMDs. I think that was a tactical PR mistake.
As far as the congress was concerned there were far more than four points, however the only one remembered by anyone, is WMD's. Selective memories, don't you just love it?
