"On the one hand, we're trying to achieve peace and end a very bloody, costly and destructive war."

"We've often been lectured by people all over the place about how the United States needs to continue to be a beacon for those who are oppressed abroad. Well, here's an example where we're doing that."

""They're wrong," Rubio said of the intelligence community assessment on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.""

"On the one hand, we're trying to achieve peace and end a very bloody, costly and destructive war. So, there's some element of patience that is required. On the other hand, we don't have time to waste."
