Ford was a few weeks shy of his 93rd birthday as we chatted for about 45 minutes. He'd been visited by President Bush three weeks earlier and said he'd told Bush he supported the war in Iraq but that the 43rd President had erred by staking the invasion on weapons of mass destruction.

"Saddam Hussein was an evil person and there was justification to get rid of him," he observed, "but we shouldn't have put the basis on weapons of mass destruction. That was a bad mistake. Where does [Bush] get his advice?"

In the first sentence he says he doesnt THINK based on public knowledge. In the second sentence he makes a definite statement. Therein lies the difference. Another post makes it much clearere what Ford was actually thinking when he said point blank, he supports Bush and the war in Iraq. Now thats all I have to say on the subject. Its ridiculous to even discuss it and immoral to use Fords words today. jdn
