Iran war would show Obama is tough, Palin says

Sarah Palin says that if President Barack Obama "played the war card," he could improve his chances of being re-elected.

Palin says that declaring war on Iran or showing stronger support for Israel might convince voters that Obama is tougher than they think on national security and doing all he can to protect the US. Otherwise, according to Palin, Obama won't be re-elected if he continues on his current path.

Palin was interviewed on Fox News Sunday, the cable television network where she is a paid commentator.
