John Kerry actually said...

"I do not think the American public, and I do not think Congress, will support the United States policing a region that will not police itself."

"The President absolutely, clearly, by almost any legal standard that I can imagine is not violating the Constitution."

"I am very encouraged that various tribal figures in Anbar and Hawija... have come forward to offer to mobilize Sunni Arab fighters against the Islamic State."

"That new president had the courage to choose somebody other than the current Prime Minister to say you try to form a government."
