“You shoot like a goat herder!”

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...raq_front_line
Quote:
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.

"Muskrat Love" 50 times nonstop should do the trick.

Actually if they play Shania Twain over and over, I'd surrender.

Re: “You shoot like a goat herder!”

Here's a snippet from an e-mail sent from the front:

Quote:
As MAP was entering Ramadi on Wed minaret loudspeakers were pronouncing, "This is the day you die, come forward and we will kill you in name of Jihad, bla, bla." Wpns Company Commander grabs interpreter, puts him on OUR loudspeaker and begins, "Come out and fight you goddamn pussies and fight us in the streets like fucking men!"

Come to think of it, it's time Canada made a contribution to the war effort.

Of course, I think we should bring out the heavy artillery:

I think that would be against the Geneva Convention, Curtis.

"and you smell like one too"
