Texas Republican Congressman Sam Johnson proudly told his constituents at Suncreek United Methodist Church in Allen, Texas that he'd like to nuke Syria. Yes, that's right, he said this in a church.
Johnson said he told the president that night, "Syria is the problem. Syria is where those weapons of mass destruction are, in my view. You know, I can fly an F-15, put two nukes on 'em and I'll make one pass. We won't have to worry about Syria anymore."
Because, as everyone knows, every last person in Syria is a terrorist.
You could dismiss this as a joke and say it was taken out of context if it had just been an overheard comment, but the fact that the Congressman went home and told a church full of people about it pretty well squashes that argument.
