U.S. Army psyops unit to Fallujah insurgents: "Come and kill us."

[no.radar]

Chicago Tribune, 10 Nov 04 (Excerpt from article entitled "GIs punch into Fallujah center")...

"A U.S. psychological operations unit broadcast a message in Arabic over a loudspeaker in an attempt to draw out insurgents. 'Brave terrorists, I am waiting here for the brave terrorists. Come and kill us. Plant small bombs on roadsides. Attention, attention, terrorists of Fallujah.'"

Related Tribune article also reports of a Humvee with a loudspeaker blaring Richard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries," the music used in the helicopter attack scene in "Apocalypse Now."

FINALLY...a war-effort contibution from Hollywood!

[Prime Choice]

And the Leftists bagged on Bush for daring to say "BRING IT ON"!

[anniegetyourgun]

Gotta love our fighting forces!

[pissant]

better not tell the sissy-poofer democrats, they still have their panties in a wad about our CIC's "bring it on" psy-op last year.

[The_Reader_David]

Wagner is good. But I've heard the jihadis can't stand Metallica. A good amp, good speakers and a CD player with Enter Sandman, No Leaf Clover, and a few other choice favoites on a loop setting.

[MahaMarty]

Brilliant. Thats the only way to put it. No, wait...THERE ARE NO WORDS for how great this is. Damn terrorists...

[darkwing104]

It's the Arab version of "Come and git some"

[exnavy]

"Ahhhh, I love the smell of napolm in the morning"

[ZinGirl]

one more time:BRING IT ON!

I'm not up on my Wagner. Is this the same piece that Bugs Bunny used?

[joesnuffy]

FINALLY...a war-effort contibution from Hollywood!

It's Wagner (vog nur)...

Why do all you guys sit on your helmets?

[TexasCowboy]

These ragheaded idiots aren't real bright.

They'll take on an M-60 with a pocketknife if someone makes fun of their masculinity.

[dts32041]

some songs for your loop. highway to hell, roland the headless thompson gunner, jungle work, american salute.

[MahaMarty]

"For Whom The Bell Tolls" might be a "sound" choice. Or possibly "Holy Wars" by Megadeth. Maybe if they can find a way to translate the lyrics into Arab.

[trashcanbred]

I always thought that Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" in "Apocolypse Now" was symbolically calling the US troops a bunch of NAZI's. The reason is the obvious love that Hitler had of Wagner's music and anti-semetism and the fact many Jews went to their deaths in gas chambers and ovens with Wagner blaring over the loud speakers.

I am not overcome with joy that we would be playing Wagner... if anything the Arabs would love to hear music from someone who equally hated the Jews.

[Army Air Corps]

How about Kill 'em All?

[pipecorp]

Shouldn't they be saying things like" Allah sucks _____ in hell"?

That might get a rise out of those little jihadist terrorists.

[F16Fighter]

"Come out come out whereever you are, warriors. Come out and play-aye."

[Poohbah]

USMC Psyops:

A Marine sticks his head around a corner in Fallujah and shouts, "1 Marine can kill 10 camel-fornicating terrorists!"

10 terrorists race around the corner. There is a brief flurry of gunfire.

The Marine sticks his head back around the corner and shouts, "1 Marine can kill 100 camel-fornicating terrorists!"

This time, 100 terrorists race around the corner. There is another flurry of gunfire, longer this time.

The Marine sticks his head around the corner a third time and shouts, "1 Marine can kill 1000 camel-fornicating terrorists!"

1,000 terrorists, shouting "ALLAH AKHBAR!" at the top of their lungs, charge around the corner. There is an enormous amount of gunfire.

Finally, one terrorist staggers back around the corner with multiple bullet holes. He collapses on the ground and shouts:

"It's...it's...a trap!" (GASP GURGLE CHOKE) "There are TWO Marines back there!"

I tried but could not find the article on the Tribune website. I excerpted from the newspaper's printed morning final edition, a copy of which is in front of me.

[Norman Bates]

Wagner - great! Time to kill the bad guys!

[Poohbah]

Well, you can always do the Elmer Fudd Remix of "Ride of the Valkyries."

"Kill the WAB-bit, kill the WAB-bit..."

[Skooz]

I love it.

Where are the brave terrorists now?

[DAC21]

I think that " We poured bacon fat on your dead comrades"
should do the trick

[Army Air Corps]

Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin has a good tempo for machinegunning jihadis...

[LibWhacker]

Allah that Failed! :-)

[FierceDraka]

Brave terrorists, I am waiting here for the brave terrorists. Come and kill us. Plant small bombs on roadsides. Attention, attention, terrorists of Fallujah.

LOL Reminds me of bottles clinking together to the chant of "Warriors, come out and plaaaaay!"

Personally, I'd have "War Ensemble" and "Bitter Peace" by the metal band SLAYER blasting from the speakers. (Those songs quicken the pulse, highten the senses, and get me ready for a bit of the old ultra-violent.) All interspersed with "We've got your 72 virgins right here! Come and get them!"

Still, taunting them by insulting their precious Arab "honor" seems like a good way to draw the bastards out of their holes and into their graves where they belong.

[Poohbah]

"We come from the land of ice and snow..."

VALHALLA I AM COMING!

[Happy2BMe]

Come on you maggot ragheads . . Come on over here and kill us!

[Poohbah]

For the airborne boys: "High Speed Dirt" by Megadeath.

"...a loudspeaker blaring Richard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries"

Drive them crazy, give 'em Babs, 24/7.

[Poohbah]

Drive them crazy, give 'em Babs, 24/7.

That might be a war crime.

Glory be!!! I love it!!!

Could it be that my dad has risen from the dead to fight again?? Gung Ho and Semper Fi!!!

[FierceDraka]

Slayer. Definitely Slayer. They make Metallica sound like a pack of mama's boys. (Also the name of an 80's "metal" band, long since forgotten, but that's beside the point)

;-D

[Army Air Corps]

Babs 24/7! Gads, that is too cruel even for jihadi bottomfeeders! :-)

[Prime Choice]

Sweet. What's it take to make them step in front of a 30-06? >: )

[MahaMarty]

You know, one band that should never be left out of the loop when it comes to mind games in war...a couple of Texas bad@$$es, like the President, none other than the...COWBOYS FROM HELL!!! PANTERA!!! They should also play their song "Walk". RE!!! SPECT!!! WALK!!! ARE YOU TALKING TO ME!!! NO WAY, PUNK!!!

[Happy2BMe]

I remember. Our men in Fallujah are making their own honorable legends . . their own glorious history.

God bless 'em.

[In veno, veritas]

Guns and Roses, however, would bring back fond memories of Panama.

I just hope they're using good speakers. It really loses something otherwise.

Wagner is good. But I've heard the jihadis can't stand Metallica.

You really want to see their heads implode? Cue up some Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson and/or Kidney Thieves.

But don't play any Barry Manilow. That's against the Geneva Convention 'n stuff...
