US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday that no option should be ruled out in order to stop Iran's march toward nuclear weapons.

"Iran must be stopped. They are a threat to the neighborhood and a source of funding for Hamas and Hizbullah," Pelosi told Channel 1.

While hoping there would be no need for a military strike, the House speaker stressed, "I do think we must not take anything off the table."

Hope she’s willing to send her kids to the front line, and their kids, ad infinitum.

Something odd is going on in the world.

Pelosi’s idea of “stopping” Iran is sucking up to that jerk Assad.

She’s an imbecile.

This is all lying politics. The democrats know they took a hit by the President’s speech in the Knesset and they’ve run internal polls that show the majority of Americans do not trust them to protect the nation and stand firm against the growing Iranian threat.

Pelosi, speaks words, Obama speaks words, but they don’t mean a dang thing. Just lies to win them power in November.

'cause you're an engineer and numerical logic makes sense.

I agree with you ... Pelosi was right on Bush's heels in getting to the ME.

I refuse to applaud the fact that this idiot happens to have a brief moment of lucidity.

‘This just confirms that we are going to hit them and soon.’

Yeah, I think that’s it. Pelosi has been given intelligence showing how much a strike is needed, plus, Bush has told her he’s going to do it. I suspect Reid and the Republican leadership have probably also been informed.

If this is correct, it’s good news. After we take out Iran, we need to hit Syria too. I hope Bush is up to it.

the amazing coordination of it all...

they dont even talk to each other but are suppose to appease the enlighten

"I really think the fate of the area depends on it," said Feinstein. "And I think saber-rattling and talking about exercises for military intrusions do nothing but escalate the situation."

“Pelosi has been given intelligence showing how much a strike is needed, plus, Bush has told her he’s going to do it.

“If this is correct, it’s good news.”

That’s what I was thinking.

Maybe she got handed a piece of intelligence that hadn't previously made it to her through the filters.

The House had a rare closed session back in March - one of those where if a member leaks anything, he or she loses all rank and chairmanships. Aside from the economic crisis, Iran was no doubt one of the primary topics. Everything was likely laid out on the table for them in such a way that only the most die-hard Democratic Socialists could object to action against Iran.

Probably why Obama has been trying to set up a private appeasement business on the side - and why he squawked so much when Bush aimed that arrow at Jimmy Carter.

If we do hit them, I hope we don’t feel obliged to brief Barry on the when and where before the fact.

Wait a minute now people! Pelosi might be on to something. Let’s not rule out anything. In fact let us be creative. We could gather up all the liberals in the House, all the liberals in the Senate, all the liberals on the Supreme Court, and we can throw in all the trial lawyers just for good measure, pack them into C130s and drop them on Iran (you pick the altitute). That would teach those dang Iranians a lesson!
