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." [...] "Well, I can understand the theory of wanting to free people," Ford said, referring to Bush's assertion that the United States has a "duty to free people." But the former president said he was skeptical "whether you can detach that from the obligation number one, of what's in our national interest." He added: "And I just don't think we should go hellfire damnation around the globe freeing people, unless it is directly related to our own national security."

So much for Bush having a rebound year. This "Presidency" continue to lower the bar for the next President. Whoever he or she is will look like FDR. Anyway here is a nice quote from the last decent Republican President the Late Jerry Ford.
I only I wish they had decent men like Ford around the White House.
