"Iran is grateful to US. Osama Bin Laden is still around in some cave somewhere scheming (he also conveys his regards to Junior for removing Saddam)." In fact, Iran is the big winner. Not only was Saddam removed, Iraq was taken out of the picture as the regional power and the mullah's power was strengthened at home. Based on the results, it is almost as if the administration was doing the bidding of Iran. Wonder if there is a money trail?
