Well, he at least tried
Bush tried to peddle a nookie once again (remember Iraq?):
But Bush in an interview with a US-controlled Farsi-language radio station said Iran has declared it wants nuclear weapons "to destroy people."
But the scam fails and:

But at least Bush knows (hopefully) that having nuclear power is their right, according to the NPT:
Bush told Radio Farda, which broadcasts from Europe to Iran, that he supported Iran developing a civilian nuclear power program.
"It’s in their right to have it," Bush said, according to a White House transcript of the interview made on Wednesday.

He knows there’s no consequences so he just amps up the rhetoric and then retracts it later.
