Iraq: Summary of Information Radio Broadcast
By Takuya Hirayama, CRW Japan

[Dec 18] U.S. psyop station Information Radio was monitored today
broadcasting on both 9715 and 11292 kHz to southern Iraq.  Broadcasting
with one female and two male native Iraqi announcers the station aired
popular Arabic music, including songs by Iraqi and Lebanese artists, and
also Western music, including the song "Titanic" by Celine Dione.  The
music did not immediately appear to carry subversive undertones.  Psyop
announcements followed the transcripts released by U.S. Central Command on
Monday.  There did not appear to be new or different announcements.

The station identifies in Arabic as "Idha'at Radiyo Al-Ma'ulumat," and
occasionally as "Masdar Ma'ulumatikum, Idha'at Radiyo al-Ma'ulumat" (Your
Source of Information, Information Radio).

Reception on 9715 kHz was better in Japan and various European locations as
monitored on JavaRadio.net than 11292 kHz.

Message in Arabic read by a male:

"With the passage of UN Security Council Resolution 1441, the International
Atomic Energy Agency, better known as the IAEA, has been mandated to
conduct inspections in Iraq. The goal of the inspection program is to
determine the extent of Saddam Hussein's nuclear weapons program with the
aim of completing the disarmament process established by UN Security
Council Resolution 687.

"The International Atomic Agency Director, Dr. Mohamed el-Baradei, was born
in Egypt in 1942. He gained a Bachelor's degree in Law in1962 at the
University of Cairo, and a Doctorate in International Law at the New York
School of Law in 1974. His career began with the Egyptian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs in 1964. In this position he served on two Permanent
Missions of Egypt to the United Nations in New York and Geneva. Later, he
also became a senior fellow in charge of the International Law Program at
the United Nations Institute for Training and Research. He has also served
as a senior member of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency)
Secretariat, and as the Assistant Director General for External Relations.

"Throughout his career as a diplomat, an international civil servant and
scholar, Dr. el-Baradei has experienced the processes of international
organizations, concentrating in the fields of international peace and
security and international law making. He has lectured widely in the fields
of international law, international organizations, arms control and the
peaceful uses of nuclear energy. Further, he has devoted his career to
studying and developing international laws.

"Dr. el-Baradei has the knowledge, experience, and expertise to effectively
lead the IAEA inspection teams. Some of the responsibilities and
authorities granted to the IAEA and Dr. el-Baradei under U.N. Security
Council Resolution 1441 include determining the composition of inspection
teams and unrestricted rights of entry in and out of Iraq. The IAEA
inspection teams will have unconditional, unrestricted access to any sites
of concern and the names of all personnel currently and formerly associated
with chemical, biological, nuclear, and ballistic programs. The resolution
also gives Dr. el-Baradei the right to declare exclusion zones that suspend
movement into and out of an inspection area. Further, the resolution gives
the inspection teams the right to verifiably remove, destroy, or render
harmless devices, records, or facilities that relate to prohibited weapons.

"Any interference with Dr. el-Baradei's duties or the inspection teams will
only delay a solution to end this crisis. Saddam and his regime can help
end the pain and suffering of the people of Iraq, by complying with the
tenets of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1441, which mandates compliance
and non-interference with the IAEA."

"United States defense officials reported on the biennial military exercise
'Internal Look.' The exercise moves the command and control elements of
United States Central Command to the Middle East Region in order to test
its readiness for deployment. Its operational concept is focused on joint
battle staff war fighting at the strategic and operational level. According
to GEN Franks, Central Command Commander, Internal Look is simply an
exercise that 'gives us the opportunity to deploy that command post. And
the purpose of it is command, control, communications, to be sure that we
have the right bandwidth lined up, to be sure that we can talk to our
components-by that I mean air component, land component, maritime component
and special-operations component.' He also stated that: over the last year
'Central Command has built a deployable command and control capability.' And,
'what that actually means is containers of communications gear, very large
communications pipes that we're able put in the back of an airplane, fly it
a long ways, land it on the ground and then set up a command-and-control
complex.'

"The primary training audience is the United States Central Command
Commander, General Tommy R. Franks, and his staff. The secondary training
audience is composed of Central Command service and functional component
commanders, their staffs and selected allied forces. Internal Look is
Central Command's major Command Post Exercise and facilitates training the
full battle staff for Central Command and its components. It also allows
Third Army to exercise its deputy joint land forces command
responsibilities. It has been an exercise conducted biennially since 1990.

"This is the second time that Central Command has deployed into the Gulf
Region. Just as in 1990, the exercise is testing Central Command's deployed
command, control, and communication capabilities in the area. In the end
exercise 'Internal Look' promises to provide an excellent training
opportunity that will ultimately prepare US/Coalition forces with the most
highly trained force in the world."

"Dear Listeners, the following program is a re-broadcast of remarks given
by President George W. Bush and United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan
on the 8th of November 22, 2002, in the White House Oval office regarding
the unanimous acceptance by the United Nations Security Council regarding
U.N. Resolution 1441, and the return of weapons inspectors to Iraq. These
remarks are being re-broadcast in their entirety.

"The president said that the Secretary General and I are going to have some
opening statements, only statements. First, I do want to welcome the
Secretary General here. I'm grateful for your leadership at the United
Nations. A while ago the United Nations Security Council made a very strong
statement that we, the world, expects Saddam Hussein to disarm for the sake
of peace. And the U.N. stepped up to its responsibilities, and I want to
thank you for that, Mr. Secretary-General. I appreciate your leadership.
I'm looking forward to our discussion. Of course I'll remind the Secretary
General that our war against terror is a war against individuals whose
hearts are full of hate. We do not fight a religion. As a matter of fact,
by far, the vast majority of American citizens respect the Islamic people
and the Muslim faith. After all, there are millions of peaceful-loving
Muslim Americans.

"Some of the comments that have been uttered about Islam do not reflect the
sentiments of my government or the sentiments of most Americans. Islam, as
practiced by the vast majority of people, is a peaceful religion, a
religion that respects others. Ours is a country based upon tolerance, Mr.
Secretary General, and we respect the faith and we welcome people of all
faiths in America. And we're not going to let the war on terror or
terrorists cause us to change our values. And so, Mr. Secretary-General,
I'm honored that you're here at the Oval Office. I'm proud to call you
friend, and welcome.

"The Secretary General said: Thank you very much, Mr. President. If I may
comment on the last point you raised. I share your view entirely that every
region and people of every faith have also been victims of terrorists. This
is a scourge that affects all of us, regardless of region or religion. And
we need to stand together to defeat terrorism. And this is where the work
of the United Nations and effective implementation of this Resolution 1373
is absolutely crucial. We need to work to deprive terrorists of the
opportunities by not giving them haven, by not giving them financial and
logistical support. And I think the counterterrorism committee of the
Security Council is doing a good job in trying to make sure we all work
together on it.

"With regards to the Iraq decision, I want to thank you, Mr. President, for
working with the United Nations and the Council and working through the
Council. And I remember when you came to the U.N. on the 12th of September;
nobody knew which way you were going to go. And in my own speech before
yours, I was pleading that we go the multilateral route. And I think we
were all relieved that we did -- you did.
And I would want to say that the Council decision, which was unanimous,
sent a powerful message that the entire international community would like
to see the Security Council resolutions implemented.
Today I received a letter from the Iraqi government accepting the
resolution, saying that they would work with the resolution. And Mr. Blix
and his team will go back. We expect them to get there on the 18th and
actively begin their work. This is a Chapter 7 resolution, and it must be
implemented.

"The President said: Thank you, sir. Thank you, all.

"Dear Listeners, once again the previous program was a re-broadcast of
remarks given by President George W. Bush and United Nations Secretary
General Kofi Annan on the 8th of November 22, 2002, in the White House Oval
office regarding the unanimous acceptance by the United Nations Security
Council regarding U.N. Resolution 1441, and the return of weapons
inspectors to Iraq. These remarks are being re-broadcast in their entirety."

purposes not related to weapon production or material.

"Decides that false statements or omissions in the declarations submitted

observers from the Iraqi Government; and instructs UNMOVIC and requests the
IAEA to resume inspections no later than 45 days following adoption of this
resolution and to update the Council 60 days thereafter.

"Endorses the 8 October 2002 letter from the Executive Chairman of UNMOVIC
and the Director-General of IAEA to General Al-Saadi of the Government of
Iraq, which is annexed hereto, and decides that the contents of the letter

presence UNMOVIC and the IAEA and in order for them to accomplish the tasks
set forth in this resolution and all previous relevant resolutions and
notwithstanding prior understandings, the Council hereby establishes the

Iraq, to facilitate their work in Iraq:

teams and ensure that these teams are composed of the most qualified and

cause of peace throughout the world. We can only hope that Saddam Hussein
seizes the opportunity to begin the end of the isolation and suffering that
his non-compliance with past UN resolutions has brought on the Iraqi people."

"People of Iraq. Throughout the history of the world, mankind has shown a
desire to progress and expand. Great leaders have built vast civilizations
and empires that spanned continents. These leaders have sponsored education
programs, paved vast roads, and built housing for the less fortunate. The
leaders of the past have turned deserts into arable land, and created
innovations which made life easier for their people. The great leaders of
the past are known for their generosity and charity towards their own
people, as well as their neighboring lands. In Afghanistan, once the
Taliban was removed from power, the standard of living drastically
improved. Relief aid is pouring into Afghanistan and is appropriately
distributed. Schools are open and people all across Afghanistan are better
off.

"However, there have been leaders who were not moved by charity and good
will. These leaders were motivated solely by greed and power. Josef Stalin
was one such leader. Stalin was set on world domination, and it was his
regime that began nearly a half-century of brutal domination through
Eastern Europe. Stalin oppressed his people as he ruled over his country
with an iron fist. During his reign as a dictator, Stalin killed and
imprisoned millions of his own people. Millions of others were forcefully
displaced and ended up living many miles away from their own homes. This
dictator cared nothing for his own people, he merely sought to exploit them
to perpetuate his regime and flawed ideology.

"In the end, the world has paid a higher price for not stopping men like
Stalin when they had the chance. Many millions of people have lost their
lives needlessly under these oppressive regimes and in wars started by
these leaders. The loss of life and the needless suffering could have been
minimized had action been taken sooner. History has shown that appeasement
of brutal domineering regimes only brings greater tragedy. Saddam too has a
lust for power, and the world will stand up and put an end to the terror he
imposes on others, before he destroys Iraq and crushes the hopes of its
proud people."
