A fine tirade based on not one whit of evidence.

It is all there and true to boot. Gerald Ford even agrees going into
Iraq was a mistake.

No, he doesn't, and didn't, you idiot (not that you probably ever
before cared what he thought about anything).

"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?'"

So he didn't think that it was a mistake. What he thought was a
mistake was basing it solely on WMD (something that we didn't do--it
was only one of many reasons given).
