18. If he had to personally attack Iran without some payback, it never would have happened.

As long as he could send others who meant nothing to him, to do it for him, it was no problem. I also have an idea that Netanyahu probably promised him a great deal for going after Iran, like maybe a big piece of Gaza where he could build his gaudy hotels and golf courses. Why else attack Iran since he had "obliterated" their sites last year, probably also at Israel's request? Always ask, "what's the grift" when he's involved.
