"I really think to rid Syria of the butcher Assad ought to be as important as the--as our ISIS concerns."

"What's the strategy to actually counter Russian and Iran's very real and dangerous enabling of Assad?"

"I have to say after the President personally overrode his own administration's plan to sanction Russia for its support of Assad, I think this bill is needed now more than ever."
