We have used it against those who attacked us without warning at Pearl Harbor, against those who have starved and beaten and executed American prisoners of war, against those who have abandoned all pretense of obeying international laws of warfare.

When the euphoria surrounding her departure subsides you will find that in a year or two's time there will not be a Tory who admits ever supporting her.
