I somehow long ago imbibed the belief that Eisenhower said, in
reference to the Suez crisis (1956 - before I was born), "Never get
involved in a land war on the Asian continent." It was a wonderful
quote when people were discussing the Vietnam War and it was again a
wonderful quote when people discussed the Gulf and Iraq Wars.

But Lee locked herself in a room with Google and emerged after a long
time, saying that Eisenhower had never said any such thing. So who did?
