"We will push those crooks, those mercenaries back into the swamp"

This quote by Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, the former Iraqi Minister of Information, is a call to action versus those who are viewed as a threat to the Iraqi people. He is referring to the mercenaries, or foreign fighters, who had actually been employed by the US to combat in the Iraq War. He is advising the Iraqi people to stand up and fight against these mercenaries, to press them back into the swamp and out of Iraq. This quote is a rallying cry for the Iraqi people to take back their country and protect it from those who would do it damage. It is a call to arms, a reminder that the Iraqi people have the power to secure their homeland and to combat for their flexibility. It is an effective declaration of defiance and decision, and a reminder that the Iraqi people will not be daunted or cowed by those who seek to damage them.
