John Kerry actually said...

"Assad must be held accountable for using these weapons in defiance of the international community."

"To your point about Senator Kerry, he was trying to be, quote-unquote, responsible, saying if Syria imploded we might have to put boots on the ground to protect the chemical weapons, to keep them away..."

"the President's actions will make us more secure, less likely that Assad can use his weapons or chooses to use his weapons."

"I applaud President Obama for coming to Congress and will support a targeted response to Syria's unspeakable deeds to gas its own people to death."
