Bill Clinton: “But then I went back--when you talk about changing my position, what I did was I went back to the British, the French…”

“But then I went back--when you talk about changing my position, what I did was I went back to the British, the French, and the others and I said, ``Okay, what can we agree on? We don't want to say, `Well, we didn't get our way; so we're going to go home.' We will work with you. What can we agree on?'' They proposed a course that we then embarked on, and they agreed not to totally rule out lifting the arms embargo at a later date. So I, frankly, was pleased to try to work with and to support the efforts of Europe in this regard. I didn't point the finger or blame. But we can't deny the fact that there was an honest disagreement. That doesn't mean that we should all give up.”
