What did general dwight d. Eisenhower say when he gave the final order to launch the attack .

And as for eisenhower, he could not even agree with himself. He related five versions of his fateful words to journalists and biographers over the years that perhaps even more mysteri

Thousands of prodemocracy demonstrators are on the streets, and many fear a Police Crackdown may be imminent. There has been some violence with authorities using tear gas and pepper spray over the weekend. This is a rare occurrence in hong kong. You usually dont see tear gas being used. At least 56 people were injured. And 89 people arrested. But the protests have been otherwise peaceful, as demonstrators call for true democracy. And for beijing to give up its veto power over choosing hong kongs leader in 2017. The movements chief organizer spoke with cnn. We dont want something fake. Now beijing is going to give us something. But all the candidates will be accepted by beijing. We think it is unacceptable. Lets check the mood on the streets of hong kong at this moment where its just past midday. Just past noon. Andrew stevens joins us live. What initially started as a si
