"Look, I've said before that, as a former smoker, I constantly struggle with it. Have I fallen off the wagon sometimes? Yes. The -- am I daily smoker, a constant smoker? No."

"The United States and the international community have been appalled and outraged by the threats and the beatings and imprisonments of the last few days. I strongly condemn these unjust actions."

"It's heartbreaking. It's heartbreaking and I think that anybody who sees it knows that there's something fundamentally unjust about that."

"President Obama has decided to send a U.S. Ambassador back to Syria."
