Ben Cardin actually said...

"We are the only country in the world that has the military might. And I agree with you. President Obama will use that military might when it is needed, but it should be a matter of last resort."

"We have universal values. These are not American values; these are universal values that we are willing to get engaged internationally in order to promote."

"What I have found that we are able to do in working with countries is actually get them to move on things and make changes."

"We have been very clear about steps that need to be taken."
