Faked Kuwaiti girl testimony

Nayirah al-Ṣabaḥ (Arabic: نيره الصباح‎), called "Nurse Nayirah" in the media, was a fifteen-year-old Kuwaiti girl, who alleged that she had witnessed the murder of infant children by Iraqi soldiers in Kuwait, in verbal testimony to the U.S. Congress, in the run up to the 1991 Gulf War. Her testimony, which was regarded as credible at the time, has since come to be regarded as wartime propaganda. The public relations firm Hill & Knowlton, which was in the employ of Citizens for a Free Kuwait, had arranged the testimony. Nayirah's testimony was widely publicized. Hill & Knowlton, which had filmed the hearing, sent out a video news release to Medialink, a firm which served about 700 television stations in the United States. That night, portions of the testimony aired on ABC's Nightline and NBC Nightly News reaching an estimated audience between 35 and 53 million Americans. Seven senators cited Nayirah's testimony in their speeches backing the use of force. President George Bush repeated the story at least ten times in the following weeks. (Wikipedia)

I'll add to my last reply - ran out of characters, that the US invasion in 2003 was nothing like iraq's invasion of kuwait, the latter was an outright annexation, but you never hear any cries of injustice of anti-american scum, the sort posting here and calling nayirah 'bitch' and so on, no, too busy sucking saddam's cock (and now assad's). Self-righteous cunts.

[infidel3955]

she was not on anybody's payroll, her gov did a stupid job of lobbying for help with that story but in the end she was trying to help her country/ people, if you weren't such an ignorant cunt you'd know there were plenty of human rights violations and crimes committed anyway, the biggest and most salient one of course is the invasion itself, but I guess that's only a crime if america is doing it, then we'd hear scum like you screaming for justice. hypocrites.

[infidel3955]

they pretended they 'did wrongs rights'? wtf does that mean? learn english before posting on youtube, dumb cunt. I think what you mean is that they pretended to right a wrong, and they DID actually, no matter how much you scream otherwise. Just like in WWII and any other justified where where invaders were kicked out. They did it for their reasons, but in the end it was right morally too and this nayirah story doesn't change that. Sod off back to screaming 'sheep' now, that's all you can do.

Americans supported the war because it was in their interest, not this story. The only ignorant sheep are cunts like you and most of the people in this comments section. And it wasn't an 'invasion' dumb cunt, it was a liberation. Buy a ticket to kuwait and go ask the people there if they thought the americans invaded them in 91. It was the iraqis that invaded, it's only morally bankrupt SCUM like you that think otherwise (like justifying it, disgusting cunt) or choose to ignore that fact.

kuwait being 'invented' by the british is the same propoganda point repeated by saddam and his arab fascist allies, and we can add to that enlightened degenerates that support him from the left and fans world wide sport of anti-americanism, basically scum with no morals. Kuwait was never part of iraq, and to protect itself from the ottomans it sought british help to protect it. turkey and iran both have more claim to iraq as it used to be part of their empires than iraq to kuwait.

Great points, brilliantly made.

I loathe these delusional narcissists and their solipsism, self-pity and self-righteousness. Their arguments appear to be infallible, which is actually a sign of there weakness, not strength.

In 1992, it was revealed that Nayirah's last name was al-Ṣabaḥ (Arabic: نيره الصباح‎) and that she was the daughter of Saud bin Nasir Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of the Citizens for a Free Kuwait public relations campaign which was run by Hill & Knowlton for the Kuwaiti government. Following this, al-Sabah's testimony has largely come to be regarded as wartime propaganda.

[Jan Johansen]

"Nurse Nayirah"s father was the Kuwaiti ambassador to the USA; he is sitting right next to her during the hearing but he pretends not to know her.

Who the fuck says planes didnt hit the building? It's obvious they did but that's not what brought the towers down.
