"On
October 10, 1990, a 15-year old Kuwaiti girl, identified only as Nayirah,
appeared in Washington before the Congressional Human Rights Caucus.
She was presented as a Kuwaiti war refugee, and testified that she had
been a volunteer worker in the al-Adan hospital in Kuwait City and had
seen Iraqi soldiers, who had invaded Kuwait on August 2nd, tear fifteen
babies from hospital incubators and "leave them on the cold floor
to die.
"Television
flashed her testimony around the world. It electrified opposition to
Iraq's president, Saddam Hussein, who was now portrayed by U.S. president
George Bush not only as "the Butcher of Baghdad" but—so
much for old friends—"a tyrant worse than Hitler."
Everything
Nayira said, as it turned out, was a lie. Get the true story in this
pamphlet.
