U.S. propaganda to Taliban: 'You are condemned'

it calls "Information Radio."

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Pentagon is sending radio broadcasts into
Afghanistan telling the Taliban they are "condemned," and the messages
seem to suggest that U.S. troops will eventually be on the ground in that
country.
According to an English language translation posted on the Pentagon's Web
site, one message gives the Taliban forces instructions how to surrender
to U.S. troops.
"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."
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."
The broadcasts tout the deadly firepower of the U.S. military and tell the
Taliban, "You have only one choice ... Surrender now."

"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," one
radio script reads.

Here's a complete text of one 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.

-CONTINUED-
"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."
