Reply with, "we're not surrounded. We're in a target-rich environment!"

Reminds me of a (possibly apocryphal) tale about the first general of the US Air Force, "Hap" Arnold. The story is that he was in his office one day when a colonel entered, announcing, "General, we have an insurmountable problem!"

"Colonel," Gen. Arnold replied, "in this Air Force, we don't have problems, we have opportunities! Now, let's start again."

"Yes, sir," the colonel said. "General, we have an insurmountable opportunity!"
