Its English transmissions were heavily anti-American and delivered in distinct, drone-like monophones. "Baghdad Betty": In late 1990, Iraq launched a psychological operations shortwave station called the Voice of Peace It featured a female announcer dubbed "Baghdad Betty" by U.S. troops. The station played Top 40 pop hits interspersed with poorly aged propaganda scripts meant to demoralize American soldiers (such as telling troops their wives were cheating on them with movie stars). The Final Broadcasts: One of Radio Baghdad's final major international shortwave broadcasts was captured on January 16, 1991, just hours before the coalition's Operation Desert Storm bombing campaign began. The station,   primarily located at Salah el Deen, Abu Ghraib, and Babel, were heavily targeted and knocked off the air shortly after.
