Over half a million children have died, surpassing the number of children who died in Hiroshima. Despite the difficult choice, we believe the price is justified. Iraq's military threat to its neighbors has significantly decreased, with most of its missiles destroyed. However, Iraq's behavior and intentions must change before our policies can change. We cannot allow the scorpion that bit us once to bite us again. We will continue opposing Iraqi intransigence and insisting on meeting international community standards for as long as necessary.

President Bush's concern about Saddam Hussein's pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and potential collaboration with terrorists is discussed. Joe Biden, as chair of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, strongly supports granting President Bush the authority to start a war with Iraq. Biden's role in ensuring the war's authorization is highlighted, with criticism that he limited debate and distorted information. The false claims of Iraq's possession of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons are mentioned. The devastating impact of the Iraq war, including American and contractor casualties, injuries, and instability in the region, is emphasized. The deception of the American people and the lack of evidence supporting the war's justifications are addressed.

Domestic propaganda campaign that occurred in The United States before the invasion began. The story centers on a young Kuwaiti woman named Naira. On 10/10/1990, the 15 year old girl gave riveting testimony before Congress about the horrors inside Kuwait after Iraq invaded. Nayirah's testimony was rebroadcast across the country and marked a turning point in public opinion on going to war. President George H. W. Bush repeatedly cited her claims. They had kids in incubators, and they were thrown out of the incubators so that Kuwait could be systematically dismantled. Three months after Nayyra testified, President George H. W. Bush launched the invasion of Iraq. But it turned out Nayyra's claims weren't true. It also turned out Nayyra was not just any Kuwaiti teenager. She was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to The United States, Saad Nasir al Sabah.

Speaker 0: Describes the cutting off of heads during Operation Stone: a lieutenant colonel there, two people had their heads cut off and put on stakes and stuck in the middle of the field. Speaker 1: Describes a brutal act against a woman: he went over there and ripped her clothes off and took a knife and cut from her vagina all the way up, well, just about up to her breast and pulled her organs out completely out of her cavity and threw them out. And then he stopped and knelt over and commenced to peel every bit of skin off her body and left her there as a sign for something or other. And there were Speaker 2: Describes a child-killing incident: two little boys playing on a dike. One sergeant just took his M16 and shot one boy off the dike. The other boy tried to run. When he was almost out of sight, this other guy, Spec Four, shot this other little boy off the dike. And the little boy was, like, lying on the ground kicking. So he shot him again to make sure he's dead. Speaker 3: Notes that the people are aware of what American soldiers do to them, so they hide the young girls. Found one hiding in a bomb shelter in sort of the basement of her house. She was taken out and raped by six or seven people in front of her family, in front of most of the villagers. This isn’t just one instance. This is just the first one that I could remember. Speaker 4: Describes a game-like brutality and a system of trophies: It got to be like a game. The object was to see who could kill the most people. Different ways to prove how many people you killed included cutting off ears. If you brought back someone’s ears, pretty likely you had to kill them to get them. Then people would, you know, whoever had the most ears, they would get the most beers, and you trade your ears for beers. Speaker 5: Recounts another atrocity in which civilians were targeted: As I was walking over to him, I turned and I looked in the area. I looked to where the VCS were, supposed VCS. And two men were leading a young girl, approximately 19 years old, very pretty, out of a hooch. She had no clothes on, so I assumed she’d been raped, was pretty SOP. And she was thrown onto the pile of the 19 women and children, and five men around the circle opened up on full automatic with her M16s. And that was into that.

The president will start a war with Iran because he can't negotiate and is weak. Saddam was believed to be developing nuclear weapons, but claims of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq were false. Removing Saddam was expected to positively impact the region, but going into Iraq is considered by some to be the worst presidential decision in US history. The war resulted in countless deaths, including journalists, humanitarian workers, US service members, contractors, Iraqi police/military, and civilians who died from bombings, crossfire, and being targeted. The precision targeting capabilities used were impressive, with care taken to minimize unintended casualties. Some characterized involved states and allies as an axis of evil, with a struggle of good versus evil. Images emerged showing the personal cost of war, such as a blood-splattered girl next to a US soldier, evoking historical and emotional responses. Some believe the Christian right, or American fascists/Christian nationalists, are bankrolled by billionaires to promote magical thinking over reality, undermining labor unions and healthcare. This shift could intensify in future administrations.

They lied, claiming Saddam was developing nuclear weapons. They said there were weapons of mass destruction, but there were none, and they knew it. They claimed removing Saddam would have enormous positive reverberations on the region. Going into Iraq may have been the worst decision any president has made in the history of the country. We should have never been in Iraq.

George H.W. Bush, former Director of Central Intelligence and 41st President of the United States, had a controversial history. He worked closely with the CIA during the Cold War, supporting Latin American death squads and right-wing military dictatorships. Bush also developed ties with Saudi Arabia and maintained connections with the Bin Laden family. He played a role in the Iran-Contra scandal and pardoned those involved to avoid investigation. In 1989, his administration invaded Panama, resulting in mass destruction and loss of life. Bush's most notorious act was spreading lies to justify the Gulf War, including the false claim that Iraqi soldiers removed babies from incubators in Kuwait.

As news of the Hamas attack emerged, the Israeli PR machine aimed to shock the Western public into supporting the destruction of Gaza, finding allies in US mainstream media. Reports claimed at least 40 babies were killed, some decapitated. An Israeli prime minister spokesman confirmed babies and toddlers were found decapitated. Reports also claimed babies and adults were decapitated and burned to death. Further reports alleged children were bound, burned, and executed, with parents tortured in front of them. One pregnant woman's stomach was butchered, with a knife left in the baby. Additional claims included little kids beheaded, babies baked in ovens, and women kept alive to hear their children's screams. Women were also allegedly sexually assaulted, brutally killed, and pregnant women cut open. Hamas was described as ISIS.

President Bush and Biden supported the Iraq war due to concerns about weapons of mass destruction. Biden played a significant role in pushing for war authorization, dismissing limits on Bush's power. The war resulted in thousands of American and Iraqi deaths, injuries, and instability in the region. The connection between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda was false. Biden continued to support the war despite its devastating consequences. The American people were misled into the war based on false information. The war had far-reaching negative impacts, including increased terrorism.

President Bush and Biden supported the Iraq war due to concerns about weapons of mass destruction. Biden played a significant role in pushing for war authorization, rejecting limits on Bush's power. The war resulted in thousands of American and Iraqi deaths, injuries, and instability in the region. Biden continued to support the war despite its devastating consequences. The false claims about Iraq's connections to Al Qaeda and weapons of mass destruction misled the public. The war's impact highlights the need to break the cycle of endless military interventions for a prosperous future.

We allied with Al Qaeda and ISIS, using them against the Syrian government. Terrorists from 100 countries joined them, engaging in organized rape and creating slave markets. They were allowed to kill husbands, own wives and children, and rape widows and young children. This led to a horrific campaign of violence and exploitation in Syria.

After 9/11, a general told me the decision to go to war with Iraq was made without evidence linking Saddam to Al Qaeda. Plans were revealed to take out 7 countries in 5 years, starting with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. Military operations began in Iraq and Syria. The situation in Syria was discussed, acknowledging the distressing images coming out of the country.

Two testimonies reveal unimaginable cruelty and atrocities that occurred in Kuwait. One involves a fake nurse, Neira, who was actually the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to Washington. She was coached by a PR firm to sell the war to Americans. The other testimony involves the propaganda used to manipulate public opinion and support for the war. On November 29, 1990, the UN issued an ultimatum to Saddam Hussein to withdraw his troops from Kuwait. The operation, called Desert Storm, began on January 16, 1991. The French Minister of Defense resigned on January 29, 1991. The exact number of civilian casualties from the month and a half of bombings remains unknown, with estimates ranging from a few thousand to sixty thousand Iraqis killed.

He poisoned his own people, showing he doesn't value individuals. We must stop the terror. The tyrant has fallen, and Iraq is free. Now watch this drive.

A witness named Nayira testified about her experience in Kuwait during the Iraqi invasion. She and her mother were there for a vacation when the invasion occurred. Nayira witnessed the Iraqi soldiers taking babies out of incubators and leaving them to die. She also described the destruction and torture inflicted by the Iraqis on the Kuwaiti people. Nayira emphasized the need to remove Saddam Hussein and rebuild Kuwait. The chairman expressed gratitude to all the witnesses for their testimonies, stating that the inhumanity and brutality described were unprecedented. He called for international action to free Kuwait from aggression and brutality.

Nations don't go to war easily, sometimes needing to be bombed into it, like Pearl Harbor in World War II and September 11. Removing Saddam's regime would have positive effects, as he used weapons of mass destruction and sought nuclear weapons. A year after September 11, the U.S. had the courage to win. The terrorists attacked and killed 3,000 citizens before the freedom agenda in the Middle East. The main reason for going into Iraq was the belief that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, which turned out to be false, and had nothing to do with 9/11. Some suggest the U.S. sometimes needs a catalyst for war, like Pearl Harbor or the Lusitania. Covert actions against Iran were mentioned, including intensifying pressure. Netanyahu reportedly said the September 11 attacks were good for Israel. Some left the military due to being lied to about weapons of mass destruction and ties to Al Qaeda. Instructions were given to shoot at anything that moved after IED explosions, desensitizing soldiers by dehumanizing Iraqis. There was a total disregard for human life. One individual apologized to an Iraqi man, finding it redemptive.

In 1990, Iraq attacked Kuwait, leading to a split opinion among the US public on whether to engage in a land war. However, support for war increased dramatically after a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl testified before a congressional committee. She claimed that Iraqi soldiers took babies out of incubators, causing them to die. This testimony was later revealed to be false, as the girl was coached by a PR firm. The US and Kuwait had engaged in a $10 million campaign of deception. This incident highlights the use of fake organizations, false documents, and disinformation to achieve geopolitical goals.

False claims about Palestine are being spread, including the beheading of 40 babies, rape incidents, and 250 people killed at a concert. However, there is no evidence to support these claims. The only videos available show people fleeing the concert, with no proof of a mass killing. Interviews with Israelis suggest that Palestinian resistance fighters were actually kind and merciful. These lies are part of atrocity propaganda, aimed at inciting hatred and violence. The goal is to portray Palestinians as barbaric and justify future atrocities. It's important to recognize this as a war of information and stand against it.

The US aims to prevent Saddam Hussein from using nuclear or chemical weapons on other countries. Despite his denial, he is believed to possess such weapons. The speaker mentions the devastating death toll of half a million children, surpassing that of Hiroshima. They question whether the cost of war is justified. Speaker 0 acknowledges the difficulty of the decision but believes the price is worth it. They argue that it is a moral obligation to protect the American people, military, and neighboring countries from the threat posed by Saddam Hussein.

Two testimonies reveal unimaginable cruelty. Interviews show the atrocities that occurred in Kuwait. It wasn't the nurses, but the daughter of the Washington ambassador. This is a prime example of the lies spread during that time. The alleged massacre of Kuwaiti babies never happened, but everyone believed it. Neira, a 15-year-old fake nurse and the ambassador's daughter, was coached by PR firm Ilan Nolton. Her mission was to sell the war to Americans, costing over ten million dollars.

During the Gulf War, a story emerged that Iraqi soldiers had taken babies out of incubators in Kuwait and left them to die. This story was widely reported and used to justify the war. However, investigations later revealed that the story was a complete hoax. The witness who testified to this atrocity was actually the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador, and she was coached by a PR firm hired to sell the war. The PR campaign, costing millions of dollars, manipulated public opinion and influenced the decision to go to war. This highlights the power of propaganda and the dangers of misinformation in shaping public perception and policy.

This transcript details how a staged Kuwaiti testimony helped sell the Gulf War. A tearful teenage Kuwaiti girl known only as Nayyura described Iraqi soldiers storming hospitals and removing incubators, claims broadcast. The testimony was presented as raw and unforgettable, boosting support for intervention. It later emerged that Nuria/Nayyara’s story was organized by a front group close to the Bush administration—Citizens for a Free Kuwait—with Hill and Nalton, a PR firm with CIA ties, aiming to sway congressional opinion to war. Nayyera was given acting lessons; the incubator narrative became the centerpiece, amplified by Hollywood and a 'we are the world' style video, topped by Whitney Houston’s Star Spangled Banner. The era introduced 24/7 live war coverage; CNN coverage faced questions about authenticity and staged elements, including piped sound effects and off-camera demeanor. The Kuwaiti girl's testimony is called a master class in propaganda, illustrating the art of selling war.

Speaker 0 recounts the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait: "Took incubators and left the children to die on the cold floor. That was horrifying." After leaving the hospital, he and friends distributed flyers condemning the Iraqi invasion "until we were warned we might be killed if the Iraqi saw us." He states, "The Iraqis have destroyed everything in Kuwait"—"They stripped the supermarkets of food, the pharmacies of medicine, the factories of medical surprise supplies, ransacked their houses and tortured neighbors and friends." He describes torture of a friend who "is 22, but he looked as though he could have been an old man," including "dunked his head into a swimming pool until he almost drowned," "pulled out his fingernails and applied electric shock to sensitive private parts of his body." If a soldier is found dead, "they burned to the ground all the houses in in the general vicinity." They were forced to hide; "Kuwait is our mother and then they are our father." "I'm glad I'm 15, old enough to remember Kuwait before Saddam Hussein destroyed it, and young enough to rebuild it." The mayor thanks witnesses and notes eight years of hearings on human rights abuses.

President Bush expressed concern about Saddam Hussein's pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and his potential to share them with terrorists. Joe Biden, as chair of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, strongly supported granting President Bush the authority to start a war with Iraq. Biden played a major role in getting the war authorized and limited the debate on the war. He falsely claimed that Iraq possessed chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons. The Iraq war resulted in the deaths of thousands of American soldiers, military contractors, and Iraqis, as well as widespread instability in the Middle East and North Africa. Biden continued to support the war for years, despite the lack of evidence for the claims made.

In the past, false information has been used to manipulate public opinion for war. In 1990, a girl claimed she saw babies killed in Kuwait, but it was a lie. Her father was Kuwait's ambassador. A similar tactic was used by Colin Powell, who falsely claimed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, leading to a US invasion and many Iraqi deaths. This raises the question of whether similar misinformation is being used in the case of Ukraine.
