> supporting a pre-emptive strike against Iraq. Miraculously, a

> is close to having nuclear and biological weapons!

> In 1990, George Bush Sr. said that we wanted to invade Kuwait 
> for oil. That didn't go over well with the American public 
> who wasn't willing to sacrifice Americans and money that 
> could go to social programs for a war over oil. So, focus 
> groups were held and a new hook was found:  cast Saddam as an 
> evil Hitler.  One example of such casting occurred when a 
> Kuwaiti woman testified before the US Senate that Iraqi 
> soldiers ripped babies off incubators and killed them.  This 
> NEVER happened. The Kuwaiti woman was the daughter of the 
> Kuwaiti Ambassador and she outright lied.  The mass media 
> never reported this.  People still don't know about this.
> 
> Read about this and other deadly PR scams at prwatch.org, 
> type in "Iraq" under "search" for important information in 
> our campaign to counter the lies and save lives!

> And call Congress as soon as possible!
