Bill Clinton actually said...

"I am directing that effective immediately, our Armed Forces discontinue the use of all so-called dumb antipersonnel mines."

"Thank you on behalf of the United States for the many contributions that the 9 million Americans who trace their roots to Asia and the islands of the Pacific make to our country every day."

"Public service is not capable of operating at a very high level of productivity and quality based on pride and partnership of the workers."

"Until an international ban takes effect, the United States will reserve the right to use socalled smart mines or self-destructing mines as necessary."
