[Alleged] President Barack Obama is on a "political jihad promoting Islam around the world," said Larry Klayman, the founder of the conservative group Freedom Watch USA, at a panel on Wednesday.

Panelists called for House Republicans to push the Obama administration for a more "rational" approach towards Iran.

Nothing short of removal of the regime is appropriate, said Klayman, which he said is the "modern day equivalent of what we saw during World War II."

"We don't know exactly when Iran will have a bomb," said former CIA Director James Woolsey. (Woolsey was also a charter member of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq and a co-chair of the Committee on the Present Danger.) He also drew parallels between the regime of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and that of Adolf Hitler.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) did speak at the event, where she criticized the Clinton State Department for allowing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak to the media on U.S. soil.

She said House Republicans could affect the policy towards Iran. "There is new hope in a new House," Bachmann said.

Presidential candidate Alan Keyes also participated and called the Obama administration's policy towards Iran "ideologically stupidified."

Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI) and Frank Gaffney, one of the early leaders in the Sharia fearmongering movement, were confirmed but did not end up attending.
