04/27/2004: "Fallujah Minaret Destroyed"

From American Forces Press Service, via Command Post, this sentence from Army Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, deputy operations director for Combined Joint Task Force 7:

Am I going to let my fellow Marines die, or am I going to recognize that that minaret has lost its protected status under international law and is being used as a firing platform and needs to go away?

I really respect when someone makes a concise statement that says what needs to be said without lending itself to being taken out of context.
