Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"I think you will realize that I have made a constant effort as Commander in Chief to keep politics out of the fighting of this war."

"We prefer to keep our powder dry."

"I have requested the liberation of all persons in North Africa who have been imprisoned because they opposed the efforts of the Nazis to dominate the world."

"I am most anxious to make sure that no man should be deferred from military service by reason of his employment in any Federal department or agency."
