Eliot Engel actually said...

"Assad is just a butcher and a murderer and it just breaks my heart that we didn't offer support to the Syrian people when they needed it the most."

"If America is to remain a leader on the global stage, we must continue working to end the bloodshed."

"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."

"Assad's a murderer, a butcher. His brutality is sickening and it goes on every day."
