John Kerry actually said...

"We are strongest in the national challenge that we face when we speak with one voice, as Democrats, Republicans, and Independents together as Americans."

"I mean, Iraq was on the brink 2 months ago, and many people were talking about, oh, my god, is it going to break up?"

"The United States, I think it is clear, is going to have to help lead that effort."

"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."
