Never believe your own propaganda. That's for others to believe. That's what it's for.

The Uday story smells. Not saying they weren't very, very bad guys and it's good they are gone. And, I wouldn't necessarily believe this story, especially during a Bush Administration demonization campaign.

From a GHWB speech as found on the Bush Library: "I want to mention -- and I don't mean to be overly shocking here -- but let me just mention some reports, firsthand reports. At a hospital, Iraqi soldiers unplugged the oxygen to incubators supporting 22 premature babies. They all died. And then they shot the hospital employees. At another hospital, troops reportedly cut off oxygen supporting the 75-year-old mother of a Kuwaiti Cabinet Minister. Iraqi aggression. Iraqi naked aggression -- taking dialysis machines, taking the patients off them, shipping the machines to Baghdad -- systematically dismantling a member of the United Nations, a member of the Arab League."

The truth.

The great Iraq War lie. "The pictured girl told the world under tears that she saw how Saddam Hussein's soldiers took babies out of their incubators and let them die on the cold floor.

"In Novembre 1990 Bush41 told this lie to the poor soldiers.
In truth she hadn't been in Kuwait at the time. The girl was in fact the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador in Washington, USA."

The DID steal incubators and take them back to Iraq. Sorta like stealing oil, on a very small scale.
