I always believed that Ike's promise to go to Korea and end the war heartened communist resistance and prolonged the killing.

Eisenhower was only president from January to July of '53 as far as the conflict went.  He had nothing to do with Inchon which occurred on September 15, 1950, according to Mike Yared's post which began this thread...  Are you saying his "brilliant generaliship" helped lead to the July 27th ceasefire?
