Do you have a source for this quote I have never seen it before. I looked at all the presidential addresses to the UN and doesn’t seem like he gave one on 2/1/1992. I’m sure he believed this but I want to be careful to confirm quotes. It doesn’t seem like he would say something so outlandish in an election year at that.
