U.S. to ’Destroy’ Shiite Militia
2004-04-07
Fox News; EFL
A top U.S. general in Iraq vowed on Wednesday to "destroy" a Shiite militia led by wanted radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr that has launched a wave of attacks against coalition forces in southern cities.
He used the "D" word--"destroy." Not "punish," not "bring to justice," not "engage in multilateral dialouge with the world community to resolve differences." "Destroy." I like that.
"We will attack to destroy the al-Mahdi Army," Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt told reporters. "Those attacks will be deliberate, precise and they will be successful."
All I can add is: Good luck, good hunting, and get home safe.

All that is left now is to complete the job. When all is done, the proper message will have been sent to anyone and everyone: we mean BUSINESS.
