Who said this? It was some US government official after the communist revolution in China, but I'm uncertain as to which one. It's sort of well known, as it was mentioned in a textbook I own from last year, but left at home.

We lost Anchorage Alaska to China...

Taking it back without Liberty Prime resulted in a costly victory. :(

Are you thinking of Dean Acheson?

A bit of googling attributes it to many members of government at the time, more as if it was an agreed upon thought than a direct specific quote attributable to one person.

McCarthy?

Acheson?

Perhaps one of them blaming the other?
