"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."

Key words bolded.

It seems to me that President Ford did not oppose the war in Iraq, as much as he opposed the reasoning behind it that was presented to the American people. It looks like his words are being twisted.

Ford also opposed the war because he was against Bush's Wilsonian policy of spreading democracy. Ford has his faults but Bush's Iraq disaster proves that he was right on that issue.
