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."

I certainly believe that it would be a major (Democratic) coup and a clean sweep of the nomination if Barak went to Iran before the convention to talk with the mullahs. Chrissy Matthews would feel that warm tingle on his leg again, for sure. The rest of America would be able to see how little Barak actually knows and can do.

Yup, even a broken clock is right twice a day (mechanical clock, that is). Doesn’t make the clock any less broken...

Now do I hear a “I voted for it before I voted against it”?

Yep, that's exactly what you'll hear. Let's count on one hand the number of Dems who voted to sanction the Iraq intervention and who have stuck with the President since then.

And it's even simpler in application. If Bush takes an action, any action, they can blame the whole thing on him. If he leaves it to a Democrat to decide they won't have that out.

She says this after the President comes back from the ME. He probably came back with some interesting intelligence. Enough to scare the moonbat straight.
