And can you believe that the French.....a mere half year after being PUT back into power are already complaining?

DUH! Hell, the French were complaining before they were put back in power. De Gaulle kept up a constant whine while exhiled under the protection of the Brits, only occassionaly drowned out by the air raid sirens. It's a wonder Churchill didn't have him taken out and shot.

Hmmmm... Having rethought that rather extreme statement about our WWII ally, please permit me to modify it:

It's a wonder, and a damn shame, Churchill didn't have him taken out and shot.
