Iran is a nation of 90 million plus. Israel is about 10 million. The ONLY way Netanyahu wins this war is sending troops to Iran. But Israel doesn't have the troop strength. Netanyahu was on Fox News today to get Americans to die for him. Wonder how many Americans want to die for Netanyahu?!

Rand Paul on Fox Biz: "I do think the jet probably sends the wrong signal, and I don't like the look or appearance of it, so I would hope he would reject it. The Constitution specifically says you can't take gifts from foreign leaders."
