What a coincidence! One of the main elements of going to war against Iraq was the raw intel. provided by the German intel. about the existence of mobile chemical labs. which C.Powel took to the UN to convince it. Or the other way around the US trumpeted the existence of Iraqi drones and its likely attack before the invasion. Big game!

That is a good reminder about the Kuwaiti "incubator" hoax.

-pretty sure many of older ones remember this unfortuante and blatant episode, but many young 'CBSer' souls just don't. Our conscience dictate us to bring up those events and make them public, and yep you're right Internet is a great tool in countering this mis-information.

Now it's from the Iraq police. If you can't believe the US military that it wasn't MI6, CIA, or the Mossad, maybe you'll believe the Iraqi police. After all, the zionist controlled media will get you to believe this *** story if they have to say Jesus saw it. Which may be the next headline.

I remember this well.

The sad fact is that many people still don't know that the "baby-incubator atrocity" story was just one lie in a series of lies.

Hi grazinggoat,

That is a good reminder about the Kuwaiti "incubator" hoax.

Looking back at GW1, we can also recall the U.S. scaring the Saudis into cooperating by showing them satellite "photos" of Iraqi tanks lined up on their border- tanks that were never there at all.

On the bright side, the Internet has been a powerful counterbalance against these kinds of blatant propaganda efforts.

Wow! With due apology, you really took her veil away. Is she still in Washington?

-My goal here is not to determine if she is still in Washington or not, but it's matter of saying to the lie-gulping journalists, please inquire little deeper before you publish whatever may cause a bad perception of people and fall in the the government's game. Stay eye-opened and not gulp everything that those incompetent journalists try to instillate in our minds.

cbville72,

Re: "And that's enough for you right. I mean if the name sounds bad, then something must be amiss."

You misunderstand me. I am simply pointing out the irony of a high-ranking commander in a brutal and illegal war of aggerssion, being named 'Barbero'.

That scenario is worthy of a comic book, and judging from his statement, so is his imagination.

Here is the article/webpage link:

http://www.dedefensa.org/article.php?art_id=518

'I did a little math and found out that the polls showed a country pretty much divided 50-50 on sanctions versus hostilities back in December 1990 and January 1991. But when the vote was finally taken in the Senate, you may recall, it passed by five votes and in favor of war. Six Senators cited the baby-incubator atrocity as a principal reason%u2014sort of a final, compelling reason to vote for the resolution over their initial or instinctive reluctance to go to war. Several others who voted for the resolution said they thought Iraqi atrocities in general were a good reason to go to war. As you may know, Niyarah was not only a liar, but she was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. That is the story I revealed in The New York Times in January of 1992 on the op-ed page.'

Re: "I myself miss the good ol days of Hussein being in power..."

Survey after survey has shown that the vast majority of Iraqis agree, that even life under the brutal Saddam regime was better than what they are facing under U.S. occupation.

Re: "and terrorists having a safe haven in the entire country."

We know beyond a reasonable doubt that non-State terrorism was insignificant in Iraq under the Saddam regime.

We also know that the Baathist leadership under Hussein, was a decidedly secular one, and not favorable to religious extremists.

What if this car was bombed by an Iraqi or US army tank. Who can see the difference of a car being shot at and exploded or a suicidal-bomb being planted in the car, believing the car was explosive-loaded and representing a danger to the soldiers' security? It looks much like a pattern of panic-flying by the drivers who may have seen a canon directed to their car and leaving the kids in the car... but saving their own lives.

Of course all lies are good to justify an increase in troops. We heard this story when the weaping pu$$y pretending to be a volunteering soul in the babies-hospital in Koweit City, went telling her sh*tty-story in front of the house-committee, back 14-15 yrs ago, prior to the first invasion of Koweit. That pu$$y that revealed to be the daughter of the Koweity ambassador to Washington was the biggest liar ever. She pretended the soldiers took the babies out of their incubatorsa nd laid them down on the cold floor. Nonetheless it was all lies and nobody made her pay for the lies she told, and caused the invasion of Iraq. She successfully painted the Iraqi soldiers who were dads, sons, and brothers of little babies, as inhumane and despicable monsters... and we, incredule North Americans, we believed her lies.

It's again the same story, one could guess.

Re: "And all those terrorists' attacks on the troops and the IRAQI people are "the right wing conspiracy" right?"

When 'Dear Leader' launched his fraud/hype-based war of aggression against Iraq, he (they) accepted responsibility for ALL of the related death, torture, and misery that we have seen as a result. This outcome was predictable, and was predicted by many.

Re: "Hey do you complain about the "evils of corporations..."

I don't think I have ever used that exact quote, but I do often comment on the crimes and excesses of various corporations.

Re: "...while spending a large amount of time at STARBUCKS...I'm curious"

I do like my coffee, but I am not a Starbuck's fan. I usually make my own, either at home, or at work.

Even the name of General 'Barbero' evokes a caricature of a ruthless war criminal.

Posted by feelfree1 at 10:45 PM : Mar 21, 2007

And that's enough for you right. I mean if the name sounds bad, then something must be amiss. I myself miss the good ol days of Hussein being in power and terrorists having a safe haven in the entire country. Things were so much better when Willie was getting head from an intern the same age as his daughter. Head on back to Starbucks adn get a soy latte'...it'll make you feel good again. if only for a little while

Anyway, I think that I will wait for additional analysis from Captain Bloodlust, Major Chaos, and Corporal Punishment, before I make up my mind on this matter.

This author is misleading here. Members of the U.S. forces have not merely been "accused" of these terrorist acts against this family, these events have been proven in a court of law, with several admissions of guilt, multiple-convictions, and sentencing of some of the perpetrators.
