John Kerry actually said...

"There is no easy out. There is no way here that we are going to not continue to stay engaged and to be involved."

"I was an activist before I came here to be a Senator, and I vowed that I am going to stay an activist Senator."

"We had a roadmap. We thought we could have moved on some components of this."

"There is a pathway here. There is an avenue. But we do need to increase the leverage."
