Eliot Engel: “I supported President Bush in Operation Desert Storm. I think that was one of the times we utilized the United Nations…”

On the recordJune 4, 1997
I supported President Bush in Operation Desert Storm. I think that was one of the times we utilized the United Nations, and we utilized the international community to further U.S. foreign policy interests. It was good for this country and it was good for the world. I want to say that we can do that again, and we can do that again if the United States is a vital force in the United Nations, not pulling out of the United Nations. That would be the opposite thing we ought to do.
