No problem. When is our latest secret shipment of Iraqi crude due in port? Did you get the case of Cuban cigars I sent you?
The Iraqi crude is on hold. Haliburton found a bunch of priceless artifacts we are stealing from the Iraqis. That will be in the Nigerian-registered "Petit Larceny"'s forward cargo hold. Be sure and have the skull of Hapmotudus ready for the secret Skull and Crossbones ceremony. I'll bring the sacrificial goat.
LONG LIVE THE NEW WORLD ORDER!
