I will be posting comments related to former President Ford's passing. Virtually every news station has continuous coverage. It appears that Bob Woodward (of Watergate expose' fame) interviewed President Ford recently.
Ford, having secured agreement that the interview would not be revealed until after his death, spoke at detail on the mistake of the US having started a war of aggression against Iraq.
Let's just say Ford disapproved. Too bad he didn't speak up before the 2004 election when it would have made a difference. The press would have been compelled to report on such a prominent Republican, a former President also had concerns. I shudder to think of the thousands and thousands of Americans and Iraqis who've since died or become disabled since 2004.
Instead, Ford's silence allowed the press to continue to characterize democrats and other Americans seeing the truth about Bush's failed Iraq policies as cowards, stupid, and capable only of cutting and running. I wonder what God thinks about people who put party before the best interests of people?
I wonder God said to Ford about his silence when he found himself at the pearly gates.
I wonder what Ford said to God when giving his final accounting of his actions on earth and their impact.
I wonder if Ford is in heaven. Food for thought.
