How False Testimony and a Massive U.S. Propaganda Machine Bolstered George H.W. Bush’s War on Iraq

2018-12-06T22:08:33.057Z

This is what propaganda looks like, people. Nayirah al-Sabah, with her crocodile tears and trumped-up testimony, was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States, Saud Nasser al-Sabah, when she was coached by the public relations firm Hill & Knowlton, on behalf of their client, the Kuwaiti government, the inveterate enemy of Iraq, to make false claims on tv.

Bush Sr.'s 1991 invasion of Iraq depended on his former role as CIA director of disinformation, ginning up a war with phony evidence, such as this video testimony. Amnesty Intl fell for this war propaganda--hook, line and sinker. A few reporters went "off the reservation", such as Chris Hedges, to question the Bush Sr's administration's case for war in the Gulf, in 1991.

on Bush Era Torture and CIA Denials --
HRW director Kenneth Roth says President Obama Can Use Last 2 Years to Prosecute Bush et al.

December 9, 2014
“The Senate report summary should forever put to rest CIA denials that it engaged in torture, which is criminal and can never be justified,” said Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch. “The report shows the repeated claims that harsh measures were needed to protect Americans are utter fiction.”

Unless this important truth-telling process leads to prosecution of officials, torture will remain a ‘policy option’ for future presidents.
