Dulles was president? See, that's just -flat- dishonest on your part.

I am no fan of the Brothers Dulles, but it seemed fairly obvious that
the reference was to SecState John Foster and DCI Allen carrying out the
details of containment (i.e., the Kennan "X-article" of 1947, developed
in Acheson's State Department under Truman).

Although I don't agree with some of Ed's positions, I am finding
increasingly that you are leaping to any possible miswording to take
cheap shots.
