Let's keep this simple. Iceland, if you want a guarantee of protection, keep the airfield, barracks, and support equipment in tip top shape, and we will be there in 8 hours if there is any problem that requires us.

Until then, let's just exchange post cards (just make yours include pictures of your really hot native women). Deal?
