"We are not deceived by their pretenses to piety. We have seen their kind before. They are the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th century. By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions -- by abandoning every value except the will to power -- they follow in the path of fascism, and Nazism, and totalitarianism. And they will follow that path all the way, to where it ends: in history's unmarked grave of discarded lies."

George W. Bush, President of the United States of America, September 20, 2001

I forget the exact question from the media, but someone in the media asked why we were doing some particular military activity (bombing I think). Rumsfields response ....

"Our purpose is to kill people..."

Rumsfield said "we intend to destroy them".

I love your choice! I also like this one from Bush U.N. speech last weekend:

"The terrorists call their cause holy, yet they fund it with drug dealing. They encourage murder and suicide in the name of a great faith that forbids both. They dare to ask God's blessing as they set out to kill innocent men, women and children. But the God of Isaac and Ishmael would never answer such a prayer. "
