U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Dallas) argued the beheading of two American journalists by ISIS does not justify U.S. airstrikes into Syria Thursday.

During an interview on Capitol Hill, Johnson said the slayings of James Foley and Steven Sotloff should not lead to bombing ISIS forces in Syria.

U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson on ISIS, Obama “We were on their ground. It was not in the U.S. I do think we need to protect Americans wherever they are. But Americans also need to be careful where they are,” said Johnson.

The Dallas Democrat also said President Obama does not need Congressional authority to escalate the fight against ISIS.

I agree. Beheadings are really OK. In fact, let’s behead Eddie Bernice Johnson.

She’d change her tune if it were one of her family members.

U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson on ISIS, Obama “We were on their ground. It was not in the U.S. I do think we need to protect Americans wherever they are. But Americans also need to be careful where they are,” said Johnson.

So according to her logic, it's OK to attack Americans anywhere if they are in a dangerous place outside of the USA. ?

Hope she doesn't travel overseas anytime soon...she might lose her head...

actually he makes a good point. However the beheadings of two people should NOT be why we go to war. any terrorist organization that starts taking over massive territory and countries should be taken out. Deal with them now .. or deal with them later but the world will deal with them. Massive US and coalition air strikes coupled with Iraqi and Syrian ground troops should do it.

Stand her parallel to a wall and shine a flashlight in the ear farthest from the wall and there will be a large spot of light on the wall “emanating” from her “inboard ear.” She's right up there with Shiela Jackson Lee, and our favorite from SoCal, Maxine Waters. The only reason they are all in office is the color of their skin. It matches that of the majority of their "constituents," the Gibbsmedats.

For many blacks any money spent on military actions means less Federale money for them. This is their thinking conscious or sub-concious. Way back during our moon landings (1968) Rev Ralph Abernathy led protests against them with the theme being the money should be used to fight poverty

She’d support it enthusiastically if it was the “killer cop”, police chief or the entire city council.
