"I think it is very important that the President tell the Congress what his plans are in Syria and then the Congress needs to give him authorization to make any kind of military moves."

"We have learned for many, many years, giving any administration a blank check to create war is not something that this Congress should do."

"I think there is no doubt in my mind, and in everybody else's mind, that Assad is really the butcher of Syria."

"There is no reason to not be critical of what is happening with the current administration just because the administration didn't do what should have been done."
