Declassified Ike documents show policy challenges

President Dwight D. Eisenhower grappled with topics like relations with Iran and stability in Iraq during an era fraught with delicate policy challenges, newly declassified documents show.

"What's ironic is that the issues that Eisenhower was dealing with 50 or so years ago are the issues that the Obama administration is dealing with today," Eisenhower Presidential Library director Karl Weissenbach said Wednesday.

"The records show the U.S. has long been concerned over its relationship with the Muslim world."
