From today's Daily Telegraph:
LBJ's remark
(Filed: 07/03/2003)
Sir - One of the greatest remarks in Franco-American military relations was made by Lyndon Baines Johnson and is apposite today.
When told by de Gaulle that he wanted all American soldiers off French soil, as France was leaving Nato, LBJ telexed back: "Including the dead ones?"
