"The Taliban must be destroyed," I think. IIRC, it's a riff on "Carthago delenda est," or "Carthage must be destroyed." Which, considering what Rome did to Carthage, probably isn't the best of analogies since the historical prcedent involved laying waste to an entire nation--precisely what we claim we don't want to do.
