Ike's
statement that, if elected he would go to Korea and end the war, was a message
that we would no longer try for a military victory. This was a guarantee that we
would not attempt any significant advances other than just to hold the line.
Never, never tell your enemies where the line is you will not cross, because
they will stand just behind that line and work you over.

Hi Gene:
What went on that you think Eisenhowers stated
intent extended the conflict?

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?
