  • Radio messages to the Taliban

    We are braodcasting messages to them from planes.

    The Pentagon said the propaganda broadcasts began last weekend and originate from a flying radio station, a specially outfitted EC-130, known as "Commando Solo."
    Here is a complete broadcast.
    "Attention Taliban! You are condemned. Did you know that? The instant the terrorists you support took over our planes, you sentenced yourselves to death. The Armed Forces of the United States are here to seek justice for our dead. Highly trained soldiers are coming to shut down once and for all Osama bin Laden's ring of terrorism, and the Taliban that supports them and their actions.

    "Our forces are armed with state of the art military equipment. What are you using, obsolete and ineffective weaponry? Our helicopters will rain fire down upon your camps before you detect them on your radar. Our bombs are so accurate we can drop them right through your windows. Our infantry is trained for any climate and terrain on earth. United States soldiers fire with superior marksmanship and are armed with superior weapons.

    "You have only one choice ... Surrender now and we will give you a second chance. We will let you live. If you surrender no harm will come to you. When you decide to surrender, approach United States forces with your hands in the air. Sling your weapon across your back muzzle towards the ground. Remove your magazine and expel any rounds. Doing this is your only chance of survival."

                Aren't there humanitarian laws though? I also seem to remember something in the Constitution that refers to "Cruel and unusual punishment".....

                    Must be something in the air...

                    One thing bothers me though: do they really think that the Afghan people or their regime even bother to listen to this?
                    I mean: if I could hear something like this, I would switch my radio (if I had one, being an Afghan under Taleban regime) off faster than you could say "Attention".

                    Or is this message just a comforting thing for the US, so the chiefs of staff can say: "Hey, we gave them another chance to surrender themselves by broadcasting a special version of 'Goodmorning Afghanistan' to which they must have been listening (because we had something to say, or so we think), but they still don't listen, so we kan still bomb the living daylights out of them without a pause."

                        The problem I heard was that a) There are no batteries or electricity for radios or television in 90% of the country, and b) 90% of the population is totally illiterate and can't read the leaflets we've been dropping.

                        They only know what the Talaban tells them, which is that the Americans will come and slaughter them like cattle.

                        Ignorance can be a worse weapon than The Bomb.

                          If they can't read and have no radios, how is the Talaban getting any news/instructions to them?

                          I'll bet the messages are getting through.
