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."

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

Nothing is ruled out, especially surrender.

Nancy Pelosi said Sunday that no diplomatic option should be ruled out in order to stop Iran's march toward nuclear weapons.

There, fixed it.

“Pelosi calls for war with Iran!”

Now that’s a headline the Moonbat left should see.

“pandering to local audience?”

It certainly seems out of character for her. Almost fishy.

Now is the time. Hit Iran when she least expects it!

Right now, the mullahs don’t expect an attack, because we’re whining about high import freight fuel...er, oil prices and the dollar. The abominable Nancy Pelosi spoke it as an option, so it needs to be done, even if our current skittish Secretary of Defense and Chiefs must be replaced in a hurry first.

Why do I get the feeling that the Bush speech in Israel was triangulation?

These days it’s almost as difficult to tell if Pelosi is lying as it is to tell if McCain is.

I think we can safely say she had her fingers, legs, arms, and eyes crossed when she made this whopper.

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

Success in Iraq is about as significant of an immediate course of action as we could take. “no option should be ruled out” except the obvious first course of action. Yada yada yada.

Obama also stated today that Iran is a danger to the US, 180 degree turnaround from yesterday.

Maybe the dems are planning not to talk to them until they stop.

Or not.

Nasty Nancy is a damn war monger. Leave Iran alone!!

They are good people and after our presidential election, Obama is going to chat with them and make the world happy and peaceful for all time.

Then, Obama is going to talk to the doctors of the world and cure all cancers.

Then he’s going to talk to the seas and fill them with fish....then on the 4th day, he’s going to rest.

She just tried to cover her ars perhaps after learning from European intelligence that Iran is dangerous.
