This could be marginally faster, especially with lots of selected messages:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set curMsgs to current messages
if curMsgs = {} then return -- no messages selected, do nothing
repeat with theMsg in curMsgs
delete theMsg
try -- if not already deleted from Deleted Items
delete theMsg
end try
end repeat
end tell
