GOP Congressman Calls for Nuking Syria

In Washington, Republican Congressman Sam Johnson of Texas has recommended to President Bush that the U.S. consider attacking Syria with nuclear weapons. Johnson recently told a church gathering, "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."

Good grief ! If this is true he should be censured by the House.

I googled this- no one is reporting it yet but the site you linked. MSM will pick it up, if verifiable.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Bush administration on Tuesday blamed terrorists based in Syria for last week's deadly suicide attack in Israel and called for an immediate end to Syrian military and political domination over neighboring Lebanon.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice applied the strongest American pressure on the Syrians to date, saying at an international conference in London that they were "out of step" in the Middle East and there was growing international resolve against them.

In Washington, White House press secretary Scott McClellan said, "We do have firm evidence that the bombing in Tel Aviv was not only authorized by Palestinian Islamic Jihad leaders in Damascus, but that Islamic Jihad leaders in Damascus participated in the planning."

President Bush made a similar point during a White House meeting with congressional leaders, participants said, and so did Rice....

[ratcheting up the rhetoric for war - how did they get this evidence? how can we believe anything they say?]

[We got the intelligence from Israel.... democrats and republicans are all getting on board.... AGAIN]

In Washington, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Richard Lugar, R-Ind., said after the meeting with Bush that there was consensus among Democratic and Republican leaders in the room that "Syria must go."

Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, the committee's senior Democrat, agreed. "Their only friend in the region is Iran. They should get out" of Lebanon, Biden said.

An Israeli diplomat said his government had shared information with Washington regarding the allegation of the involvement of the Damascus-based Islamic Jihad in the Tel Aviv attack.
