Bill Clinton actually said...

"Today's overwhelming consensus in favor of making the treaty permanent testifies to a deep and abiding international commitment to confront the danger posed by nuclear weapons."

"This event is a victory for all."

"This decision says to our children and all who follow: The community of nations will remain steadfast in opposing the dangerous spread of nuclear weapons."

"I want President Kuchma and the Ukrainian people to know that the United States and the West will stay the course with you."
