This is an easy one! You use this phrase when someone asks " What the deuce are we supposed to do with carthage? he's been in that bathroom for forty minutes and my colostomy bag is at breaking point!" "ahem" one would utter," Carthage must be destroyed".

Putting the phrase into Google produces lots of history sites and some examples of current usage.  Here is one: http://www.pacificnews.org/jinn/stories/4.04/980216-iraq .html
