Governors, Senators, members of this esteemed councill. The time for half-measures, indecision and ignorance has passed. Instead, we are entering a time of consequences ! Consequences for our inability to reach a decision !
We must reach a consensus, or risk disaster.
I realise the bitter infighting will only serve to weaken us, I therefor propose that we decide on a general strategy regarding our long-term military actions, as it is the debate over these that fuels the fire of discontent, and forget all that has been said here, forget all the insults and personal attacks we have seen over the past few days.
Whether this common decision be the liberation, as I see it, of Numidia, or the launching of a new and deadly war against the city of Siracuse, or the sending of troops to Iberia to stabilise and then dominate that region, or even the absence of any military action, we must come to agreement on one. Each one of these has it's advantages, each has it's benefits, as well as risks. Concentrating on either one with all of our strength will undoubtely produce the desired outcome.
We cannot however pursue all of these objectives. Failiure to concentrate one a particular course of action will result in defeat.
Once an agreement on one of these strategies has been reached, we can work together on how best to achieve success.

For it is not our personal interests, overgrown ego's, petty feuds, efemere glory that is important here, but rather our future as a nation ! It is in it's service that we have put our lives, and it is it's purposes that wich we must serve.
Glory to Kart-Hadast !
