Bill Clinton actually said...

"I believe this is a very, very positive thing."

"We reaffirm our commitment to consultation, partnership and practical co-operation through the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council and the Partnership for Peace."

"In a world full of both promise and peril, where for good or ill our destinies are more and more linked, we have chosen to be allies, partners, and friends."

"We are moving forward with a strategy that I believe strongly will succeed."
