Harry Truman actually said...

"We are going to get the truth to those people, and we won't have to do it with guns, I am sure."

"I am sincerely sorry about the casualties, but somebody has to meet these situations; they can't be met with sticks and stones--somebody is bound to get hurt."

"It is difficult for us--for this Republic of ours--to realize the responsibilities of the Government of the United States."

"I sincerely wish I could stay longer."
