Hi guys. We've all been putting in long hours, but we've really come 
together as a group and I love that. Big thanks to Omar for putting 
up the poster that says "There is no I in team" as well as the one 
that says "Hang In There, Baby."  That cat is hilarious.  However, 
while we are fighting a jihad, we can't forget to take care of the 
cave.  And frankly I have a few concerns.

First of all, while it's good to be concerned about cruise missiles, 
we should be even more concerned about the scorpions in our cave. 
Hey, you don't want to be stung and neither do I, so we need to sweep 
the cave daily.  I've posted a sign up sheet near the main cave 
opening.

Second, it's not often I make a video address but when I do, I'm 
trying to scare the most powerful country on earth, okay? That means 
that while we're taping, please do not ride your razor scooter in the 
background.  Just while we're taping. Thanks.

Third point, and this is a touchy one.  As you know, by edict, we're 
not supposed to shave our beards.  But I need everyone to just think 
hygiene, especially after mealtime.  We're all in this together.

Fourth: food. I bought a box of Cheez-Its recently, clearly wrote 
"Osama" on the front, and put it on the top shelf.  Today, my 
Cheez-Its were gone. Consideration.  That's all I'm saying.

Finally, we've heard that there may be American soldiers in disguise 
trying to infiltrate our ranks.  I want to set up patrols to look for 
them.  First patrol will be Omar, Muhammed, Abdul, Akbar, and Richard.

Love you lots.
Osama
