Troops Blast Music in Siege of Fallujah

Troops Blast Music in Siege of Fallujah

By JASON KEYSER
Associated Press Writer

FALLUJAH, Iraq --
In Fallujah's darkened, empty streets, U.S. troops blast AC/DC's "Hell's Bells" and other rock music full volume from a huge speaker, hoping to grate on the nerves of this Sunni Muslim city's gunmen and give a laugh to Marines along the front line.

Unable to advance farther into the city, an Army psychological operations team hopes a mix of heavy metal and insults shouted in Arabic - including, "You shoot like a goat herder" - will draw gunmen to step forward and attack. But no luck Thursday night.

The loud music recalls the Army's use of rap and rock to help flush out Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega after the December 1989 invasion on his country, and the FBI's blaring progressively more irritating tunes in an attempt to end a standoff with armed members of the Branch Davidian cult in Waco, Texas in 1993.

Coppertop recommends an uninterrupted 24/7 selection of Queen hits...

"Another One Bites the Dust" to begin with. :wink:

If those don't wake 'em up, nothing will!

Maybe a change in tactics would be a good idea. How about non-stop Neil Sedakka or Barry Manilow? That may be against the Geneva Convention... ;-)
