"I take this mortar or sniper fire to be a direct insult, effectively, not only to the UN but to the United States, basically daring us to do something."

"The sad thing is we don't really have an opposition in Syria to support. The opposition in Syria is heavily depended on and integrated with Al-Qaeda and Al-Qaeda related groups. So we sit here John, having waited to get involved, having not responded to the provocative actions of Bashar al-Assad and having not responded yet to the terrible chemical weapons attack, we are literally in weakened position; the Syrian government is strengthened and the Russians are emboldened."
