General Dwight D. Eisenhower looking less than pleased with himself, December 1944.  Apparently,  he regarded the security emergency resulting from the Battle of the Bulge, that interfered with his Christmas, as Just a Bit Much.  OK - actually, I have the very greatest respect for Ike; the diplomatic challenges he overcame in securing reasonably harmonious relations between British, US, Canadian, Polish, French ... etc. allies entitles him to the greatest respect.
