In September 1990 there was heavy reliance on "classified" satellite photographs alleged to show that one month after Saddam's invasion of Kuwait there were 260,000+ Iraqi soldiers and over 1,400 tanks waiting at Saudi Arabia's border to invade. But the satellite photos were never released. The pictures were keptl top secret.
Jean Heller at the "St. Petersburg Times" got her paper to buy pictures from a commercial satellite, the Soyuz Karta, to verify Powell's claims. But there was no sign of any troops or tanks. "The satellite pictures were so clear that at Riyadh airport in Saudi Arabia you could see American planes sitting wingtip to wingtip," said Heller. Two experts verified her analysis. Peter Zimmerman, a satellite expert at George Washington University said, "I looked at them with a colleague of mine and we both said exactly the same thing at exactly the same moment: 'Where are they?' We could see clearly the main road leading right through Kuwait, south to Saudi Arabia, but it was covered with sand banks from the wind and it was clear that no army had moved over it. We could see empty barracks where you would have expected these thousands of troops to be billeted, but they were deserted as well." Powell has admitted it! There was no imminent invasion.

The Kuwaiti government spent $2m surreptitiously with a public relations firm to sell the war. Their worst deception was the "incubator babies" that were supposedly "left them on the cold floor to die." The PR firm's work involved rehearsing six liars to fake details of the premature baby propaganda. Niyirah al Sabah who, unknown to her audience, was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the US, told the story in gross detail to Congress during November 1990, just before the critical vote. But, Myra Ancog-Cooke, a nurse in the hospital revealed that none of the staff had ever seen or known of Niyirah al Sabah.  Myra was assigned to the children's ward with another Filipino nurse, Freida Contrais-Naig. They had stayed behind to protect  the incubator babies. "I said to Freida[ a co-worker], 'That's funny, we've never seen her. She never worked here.' The PR firm was unashamed over the sham pulled on the UN Security Council, the US Congress, the press and the public!
