UPDATE:
Peace and alliance, and generous terms of surrender have been gained from Jerusalem. The Caliph and Rome are very much our friends, and the Romans have petitioned us for membership. We are now moving to secure the entire west... the north is falling to Roman arms, and in the south, we are seeking to secure our border.
In the meantime, as my perhaps final act as Commander of the Allies, I am now requesting that all members who can spare... well, anything... contribute to the Omani and the Ghaznavid cause in defending the Rajputs.
I'd ask for funds to go directly to the Indians, and perhaps some shall, but given their lack of recruitment facilities, I'd say they need allied assistance and soon. Let's send it to them.
I believe Georgia has offered the Turks a sum of money every turn to maintain our forces; I would like to donate that in whole or in part to the Ghaznavids and the Omans. I will see about getting assistance from Rome and the Caliph for "Turkish budgetary reasons" and divert it to Oman, I'll ask that the Seljuks whose show of force in the West has not been forgotten, offer anything they can spare to Oman and move any forces they can spare to reinforce Ghazni.
Now that the West is won, Everything should go towards defeating the Ghorids. When our work is done, we should implement the LEAN FORCES policy I proposed at the very start. We need to recover our budgets and prepare for any other nasty surprises. We may seem to be winning, and indeed we are, that does not mean that we are safe. We are not safe until the rebels are banished, every other faction is allied or contained, and the Mongols have been destroyed.
The State of our Union is precarious, but strong. We are winning this battle. If we continue along the path of wisdom and strength, brotherhood and cooperation, we will prevail.
Our greatest threats have been dealt with... let us now show the Ghorids the full power of the dark side.
