So, what is your idea, besides ignoring the Ford opinion AS IF IT DIDN'T HAPPEN, and handing it over as a Christmas present to Murtha, Pelosi, etc.?
My idea.
How about this: IGNORE IT.
It's another faulty piece of advice in a sea of faulty advice.
Just because the guy had an R after his name, means NOTHING.
Ford famously said, "I'm a Ford, not a Lincoln," but on this subject, he sounds like a Chaffee to me.
Hey, as much as I regard Ford as a real gentleman and patriot, if Murtha and Pelosi want to stand up and yell "This war is over because President Ford said it was a bad idea," they should be welcome to it. They will sound like idiots.
