If Israel attacked Iran, would a Republican president help out? Some of the GOPers answered that hypothetical question at the CNN debate on Tuesday night.

“I would first make sure that they had a credible plan for success,” Herman Cain said.

“No, I wouldn’t do that,” said Ron Paul. “Why does Israel need our help? We need to get out of their way.”

Cain said the plan was highly unlikely given Iran’s terrain, but said the U.S. should help out efforts against Iran.
