Bill Clinton actually said...

"Now all Americans of Irish heritage have a great responsibility, for in the land of our ancestors, the future is at a crossroads."

"I will travel to Fort Polk, LA, on March 18 to visit American troops."

"To all the Irish-Americans here who have played a special role in strengthening the bonds between our peoples, let me say a very special thank you."

"Today, I ask Irish-Americans of all traditions to remember the spirit of the saint whose faith triumphed over violence and suspicion."
