Bill Clinton actually said...

"I am looking forward to visiting a peaceful Northern Ireland later this year and paying personal tribute to those who have worked so hard to bring about this new day."

"These historic decisions opened a door that had been closed to the people of Northern Ireland for too long—the gateway to peace."

"I also salute the people of Northern Ireland for their extraordinary perseverance and their dedication to the cause of peace."

"I hope all the parties will reaffirm their commitment to build a peace in Northern Ireland for generations."
