  United States Central Command, this morning at
  0300, we launched Operation DESERT STORM, an
  offensive campaign that will enforce the United
  Nation's resolutions that Iraq must cease its
  rape and pillage of its weaker neighbor and
  withdraw its forces from Kuwait. My confidence in
  you is total. Our cause is just! Now you must be
  the thunder and lightning of Desert Storm. May
  God be with you, your loved ones at home, and our
  Country."
