Dwight Eisenhower actually said...

"I have tried to put out a program that is good for the United States, and it is on that basis that I appeal for help."

"No one could be more bitterly opposed to ever getting the United States involved in a hot war in that region than I am."

"I cannot conceive of a greater tragedy for America than to get heavily involved now in an all-out war in any of those regions, particularly with large units."

"In battle, they learned a great truth--that there are no atheists in the foxholes."
