CAMP AS SAYLIYAH, Qatar

A few Iraqis contacted in Baghdad said they were aware of "Information Radio" but none said they listen to it.

Probably because that would collect a bullet to the head - and to those of the family.

[smith288]

Sheryl Crow?

[Semper Paratus]

Celine Dion, Sheryl Crow

No Dixie Chicks, that would be considered a WMD.

[Diogenesis]

Somewhere, sigint heroes of the 193rd Special Operations Wing
prepare to transmit to Iraq.

[Dog]

When we shut down Saddam ability to speak to his people..i.e...no TV or radio broadcasts....then the end is near.

[FLdeputy]

Is that D.J. Jazzy Jeff pictured in Post #5?

[Is2C]

BTT

[Portnoy]

Goooooooooooooood Morning Baghdad!

...and goooooood bye Sadaam. Don't let the camels bite you on the a$$ on the way out

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

So would Sheryl Crow!!!!!!!

COMMANDO SOLO

[BSunday]

I hope they are playing "This Is The End" by the Doors

[sharktrager]

Seems to me that playing Celine Dion will just encourage them to fight harder out of fear the USO would bring her to Iraq to play a concert if they lose.

[sharktrager]

Yes.

Jazzy Jeff decided to one-up Michael Jackson and not only became a white man, he became an old, bald, white man.

[FBDinNJ]

I wonder how good the reception could be if the transmitter is always moving? Any thoughts?

[labowski]

Commando Solo is such a great name, I also like the name Operation Atlas being used in NY. Although, they should get James Earl Jones to broadcast messages out of Commando Solo.........

bttt

[Cable225]

A few good selections -

Life During Wartime - Talking Heads
Holidays in the Sun - Sex Pistols
This is Radio Clash - The Clash
The Final Countdown - Europe

And for more happy, upbeat stuff -

Don't Look Back - Boston Hot, Hot, Hot! - Buster Poindexter

Ok, any other ideas?

[BSunday]

Sure, I'll play:

Dead Man's Party - Oingo Boingo
Blackout - Scorpions
Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash

Back to you, Cable!

I have to defend Celine, she did a great job of singing "God Bless America" at the Concert for New York, even though she is a Canadian.
