Bill Clinton actually said...

"We reaffirm that the United States of America and the Russian Federation are natural partners in advancing international peace and stability."

"The U.S. and Russia remain committed to jointly building an enduring peace based upon the principles of democracy and the indivisibility of security."

"I think it's important to answer your question of what happened from the point of view of the Russian people and then from the point of view of the American people."

"We can help them if they make the right decisions."
