One of the greatest quotes in the history of the Republic was when Ike said "I will go to Korea"

"Military Victor from Political Defeat," great line, Ike.

@billyguns2 So do I. I love Coolidge, Eisenhower and Reagan. Older presidents I like are Jefferson, Cleveland, McKinley and Polk.

@RichardElden Yes, the Suez Crisis was his biggest mistake. He even admitted that.

@billyguns2 Well he did have the CIA overthrow two countries, threaten to drop the bomb on China and North Korea if they did not come to the peace table in Korea, send military supplies to South Vietnam and planes to spy on the Soviets. All of which i actually like. At the same time he was reserved in sending troops. He refused to send troops to help the French in indochina, ended the korean war and refused to send troops into the Suez after egypt invaded Sinai and took it over. Ike was great!

@billyguns2 Eisenhower and Truman were both great presidents. They did good and bad things in office. Truman helped rebuild both Europe and Japan after WWII. He recognized Israel and created NATO,the OAS and the UN, helped desegregate the military, (at least) tried to stop communist forces in Greece,Turkey,Korea,Berlin(wit
h the Airlift),etc. He also he wasn't afraid to remind General MacArthur that civilians are in control of the military no matter what. -

George W Bush should be forced to hear these words. Eisenhower was a giant compared to the pygmy now currently serving as President, in fact I think he really did try to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States." We should have listened to his warning about the military-industrial complex. I think the historians' rankings of U.S. Presidents is mostly incorrect; they give top honors to blood spillers and egomaniacs.
