John Kerry actually said...

"The AUMF is ISIL specific, and it does not authorize activities against Assad."

"Nothing in this agreement contemplated, if it gets reached, is based on trust. Nothing."

"I believe that Senator--the remarks made by Senator Menendez, Senator Flake, Senator Perdue, and others about the need to come together as a Congress and have a meaningful AUMF are important."

"Since the coalition came together less than half a year ago, we have stopped ISIL's surge, we have degraded its leadership."
