</a><br />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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
This was the beginnings of #fakenews in the late 20th century, used to convince the mainstream media and the general public to go to war, even when starting an unnecessary war is recognized as a war crime. This playbook was used against by Bush Jr. and Cheney to gin up the next U.S. invasion of Iraq, in 2003.<br />

</a><br />Prescient speech from 2001 : Barbara Lee explains her rationale for voting against the Authorization to Use Military Force in Afghanistan, citing the overly broad nature of the bill.<br />
<br />
In an op-ed she published in the San Francisco Chronicle nine days later, she explained her vote by pointing out that the resolution “was a blank check to the president to attack anyone involved in the Sept. 11 events — anywhere, in any country, without regard to our nation’s long-term foreign policy, economic and national security interests, and without time limit.” She added: “A rush to launch precipitous military counterattacks runs too great a risk that more innocent men, women, children will be killed.”<br />
<br />
For her lone opposition to the power grab by Bush-Cheney, and her principled defense of the U.S. constitution's separation of powers, Lee was deluged with rancid insults and death threats to the point where she needed around-the-clock bodyguards.<br />

TPF reminds you that only Congress has the power to declare war. The president is the lackey of Congress, no more.
