Bill Clinton actually said...

"I'm sorry we're a few minutes late this morning, but I got up early this morning at the White House and was on the phone for a couple of hours because this morning, or morning our time, not very long ..."

"I want to thank you also for the support that you have given to me and to our administration."

"I intend to do everything in my power to make sure our military remains the best fighting force in the world."

"I salute our pilots and crews and their NATO colleagues."
