I think it is to co-ordinate public relations and military strategy. Diego Garcia is probably going to be needed again. We have good contacts in Oman that might be useful. British Intelligence is on the ground and the SAS will come in handy surely - what is required is figuring out the co-ordination with you lot as to who does what and where.
Most certainly, our finest and bravest will be in there with you, however.

I've been very impressed with Tony Blair this past year, unlike earlier during the clintoon regime, when I viewed him as another pea in that pod. Blair has come around and it is under his leadership that among all our old allies from WWII, only Britain is in our camp today, and remains our old friend.
What was it that Churchill said? We are one people separated by a common language...or something along those lines. (At least I think it was Churchill; I always assume anything pithy or memorable was said by him anyway.)
