Barack Obama actually said...

"The United States will also seek to provide direct contributions and enabling support to UN peace operations."

"Multilateral peace operations, particularly United Nations (UN) peace operations, will, therefore, continue to be among the primary international tools that we use to address conflict-related crises."

"If we continue to instill in them the optimism of America's promise—that all things are possible for all people—they will grow up believing, as they should, that nothing is out of their reach."

"The United States recognizes the critical importance of UN peacekeeping in promoting peace and security all around the world."
