Liars!
We are now living interesting times! Ferenc Gyurcsány Hungary's neo-communist prime minister lied to the people. Tom Lantos (D) lied about "new born babies on the cold floors." G. W. Bush lied about Iraq, and continues to lie until this day. My friends, the list of liars could fill a book! But why do they have to lie?... /tj/

Lantos, it turns out, was in on a little scam he cooked up with Citizens for a Free Kuwait and an entity Lantos chaired called the Congressional Human Rights Foundation. In fact, both organizations were rump entities set up by the public relations firm Hill and Knowlton, the same company that is now shilling for the Saudis to fend off all criticism of Osama bin Laden's true paymasters.

Nice try, but soon it was revealed that Nayirah's actual last name was Al Sabah and that she was the daughter of Kuwait's ambassador to the United States. But the disinformation soon caught on. George H. W. Bush traveled around the country condemning the Brute of Baghdad for throwing newborn babies on to the floors of Kuwaiti hospitals. Support for Bush's war skyrocketed as a result.
