"Actually, Bush was Iran's best friend. He took out Saddam"

He did much, much more than that. Our little Iraqi adventure introduced enough uncertainty in the oil market that prices went through the roof. And they still are very, very high. The help to Iran and the pain for us was huge. That, and the general ineffective saber rattling towards Iran greatly strengthened the mullahs hold on the country. Which was weakening before. Just about everything we did in the ME under Bush helped out Iran.

To the point where you have to wonder why...
