• Ike the Liberal

  
  MAL Contends . . . — Authority: 470
  This Eisenhower guy was a liberal, dithering Commander-in Chief who projected weakness and indecision abroad, signaling the wrong message to enemies like the Taliban, and confusing countries in the region on Americas leadership and commitment.
