Really, what is it with these republicans ... they are all coming out against the headstrong, Inerrant Boy-King now that they no longer have to worry about their J.O.B.S. Fuck this shit. First it's My Lai Powell recanting his participation the whole first four year of L'Affaire Bunnypants as SecState. Now it's Presidente Ford (yes, he's still dead) from an "embargoed" interview:
Former president Gerald R. Ford said in an embargoed interview in July 2004 that the Iraq war was not justified. "I don't think I would have gone to war," he said a little more than a year after President Bush had launched the invasion advocated and carried out by prominent veterans of Ford's own administration.
In a four-hour conversation at his house in Beaver Creek, Colo., Ford "very strongly" disagreed with the current president's justifications for invading Iraq and said he would have pushed alternatives, such as sanctions, much more vigorously. In the tape-recorded interview, Ford was critical not only of Bush but also of Vice President Cheney -- Ford's White House chief of staff -- and then-Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, who served as Ford's chief of staff and then his Pentagon chief.
What is it with these guys? Is party unity and loyalty so far ahead of what's good for America that they just took their retirement checks and soldiered on as Americans died and our National prestige went into the dumper? Was it such a reach to think that Americans who respected and listened to both men might have begun wondering earlier if we were not on some fools errand in the desert?
Seems like it to me. I guess that's all part of being a "Good" American. Suck it up and ask for more. From the Lying Cocksucking Weasels who are destroying the Country. Yeah, that's being a Real American.
Nice work, guys. You can sing all the hosannahs you want about his essential goodness. His righteousness would have been set in concrete if he had not pardoned the Trickster and come out against the irrational (and destructive) policies of his own party pre-mortem.
