Dwight Eisenhower actually said...

"If the Middle East is to continue its geographic role of uniting rather than separating East and West; if its vast economic resources are to serve the well-being of the peoples there, as well as that ..."

"We shall have heartened the patriots who are dedicated to the independence of their nations."

"It would be intolerable if the holy places of the Middle East should be subjected to a rule that glorifies atheistic materialism."

"Never for a moment has the United States entertained such a thought."
