"Here we have weapons of mass destruction that we not only know do exist, but they have been used."

"It would not be sensible to pass this resolution with a view to degrading his capacity and preventing him from doing it, if he were foolish enough to do it again."

"The President is not asking you to go to war. He is not asking you to declare war."

"the President would have the authority, and the right, and, conceivably, the imperative to respond without any other authorization if Assad were to attack again."
