New York Times Sunday Magazine 2/29/04 - the "On Language" column by William Safire gives a good rundown on the derivation of this phrase (and its use in the current campaign).

Here's a quote from President Bush:
"Anybody who wants to harm American troops will be found and brought to justice," Bush said. "There are some that feel like if they attack us that we may decide to leave prematurely. They don't understand what they are talking about if that is the case. Let me finish. There are some who feel like the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is, bring 'em on."

Well I guess they are bringing it down on the troops over there rather effectively. Seems like a few dead every couple days. No wonder we haven't had any more attacks here. Why pay good money and struggle to get in here and get arms here when there were thousands of targets delivered to their doorstep where cheap heavy weapons abound?
