    Right, but if you read that link, you’ll see that that quote isn’t direct but instead a historians recollection of “words to that effect” from Ike. The following quote CAN be directly attributed to him:

    I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to “propaganda.”

    Similar story here, my youngest just graduated college. And apparently my family sat in front of one of his neighbors who I met later at the a house party. And he goes “I’m pretty sure I sat behind you at the ceremony. I sat down and the first thing I heard was ‘god bless those Australians, they took one look at a whole onion and said ‘I bet you we can fry that and Americans will eat it’’”
