Cory Booker actually said...

"the fact that there is an absence of U.S. political and diplomatic leadership is a serious problem"

"To execute that kind of aggressive strategy that you articulate, you got to have some kind of leadership guts and courage here in the United States, which we lack."

"There is no fatigue on this subcommittee, and it is something that we urgently want to see addressed."

"The United States has an essential role to play in resolving this conflict."
