Robert Menendez actually said...

"It is imperative that Congress authorize any further military action against ISIL."

"This is the most critical vote that any Member of the Congress will take, which is basically a vote on war and peace and life and death."

"We must learn from the tragic foreign policy mistakes of the past. We cannot afford to make them again."

"I believe that an AUMF against ISIL should better reflect the President's promise and the strategy he has laid out to the American people."
