Casus Belli babies appear

Remember the Maine! Remember Pearl Harbour Remember Jack the Ripper!

Washington-based PR firm Hill & Knowlton, under the leadership of George Bush Senior's former chief of staff Craig Fuller, devised a remarkable "hook" for the propaganda campaign which sold the first Iraq war to the American people: a heartrending story of invading Iraqi troops tearing newborn infants from hospital incubators, and leaving them to die.

"I volunteered at the al-Addan hospital," asserted a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl identified only as "Nayirah" during a meeting of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus on October 10, 1990.

"While I was there, I saw the Iraqi soldiers come into the hospital with guns, and go into the room where…babies were in incubators. They took the babies out of the incubators, took the incubators, and left the babies on the cold floor to die."

Other "witnesses" coached by Hill & Knowlton offered similar accounts before the UN Security Council, and a video produced by the PR agency was shown to the Council.

The result was an Article Seven resolution against Iraq – the world body’s equivalent of a declaration of war, used by President Bush as the authority to attack Iraq.

Fuller, when he's not conjuring dead infants left on cold floors to die, participated in other "cabal ops" as well...

Developing ( or ENveloping? ) as in the Sand L boondoggle, Iran-contra and Long Term Capital Management successful cover-ups. Some of these scandals are just to huge and monstrous to be believed, let alone investigated properly.
We have a similar analogy with our Victoria state police down here in Oz.
