THE ROLE OF LIES AND PROPAGANDA IN THE GULF WAR (Documentary, 1996)

The Orchestration Of The 2003 Iraq Invasion?
The reasoning for the first Gulf War in January 1991 was scrutinized by many, not least the testimony of Nayirah al-Ṣabaḥ, a fifteen-year-old girl who claimed to have seen Iraqi soldiers killing infants. This ultimately turned out to be completely false [2] and is largely seen as outright propaganda to gain support for pre-emptive action in Iraq. You can see the video clip below. -----

Maggie O’Kane returns to Iraq five years after Desert Storm to try to understand why she was not able to report the war freely and to investigate some of the stories which simply didn’t stand up.

The Gulf War (2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991), codenamed Operation Desert Shield (2 August 1990 – 17 January 1991) for operations leading to the buildup of troops and defense of Saudi Arabia and Operation Desert Storm (17 January 1991 – 28 February 1991) in its combat phase, was a war waged by coalition forces from 35 nations led by the United States against Iraq in response to Iraq's invasion and annexation of Kuwait.
