First of all, thank you all today for your patience. I was out of office all day long.

Second, *sniff* I want you to know *sniff* that I will never be proud... *ahem* *sniff* I will never be... *waaaaughh* I will never be prouder of you than I am today. I introduced Mike to the group. I told you to be friendly and to stab him. And bless my soul if those aren't daggers I see in Moscow and Afghanistan. You are beautiful, beautiful people. Mike, it's up to you to make them regret it. I know you can do it.

The Persian army in Afghanistan now understands the moniker: Graveyard of Empires. With no retreats open, it goes to its grave. The Indian fleet in Persian Gulf, with only one retreat open to it, goes to Iraq. Let me know if you want to disband, Ross.

And all of this sets up F1908 next Tuesday, November 17th, at 10:00 a.m. CST.
