RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
JOHNSON: "Chuck, I said in February 2014 that Syria had become a matter of homeland security. Our U.S. Military along with the international partners have done a good job O taking back military, taking out the leaders of ISIL, taking out those focused on external attacks but yes, we have to be concerned that Syria could become another Afghanistan. Any time a terrorist organization can establish territory, take territory, have a place to head quarter, to train, recruit, that’s obviously a big concern and it’s a big homeland security concern, yes, sir."
