Topic: Nayirah Testimony

The host revisits the 1990 "Nayirah testimony," where a 15-year-old girl claimed Iraqi soldiers took babies out of incubators in Kuwait. It was later revealed that the girl was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador and the story was orchestrated by a PR firm to build support for the Gulf War. Dalley suggests that current headlines about atrocities are following a similar "propaganda machine" script used to stoke emotional responses for military intervention.

Kate Dalley examines the consistent "script" used to lead the American public into foreign conflicts by demonizing world leaders as "madmen." She cites historical examples including the fabricated "babies in incubators" story used during the Gulf War and the false claims regarding the gassing of Kurds by Saddam Hussein. The segment warns that the same propaganda techniques are currently being applied to the conflict in Ukraine.
