Robert Fisk, Discredited reporter?
Robert Fisk is the multi-award winning Middle East correspondent of The Independent, based in Beirut. He has lived in the Arab world for more than 40 years, covering Lebanon, five Israeli invasions, the Iran-Iraq war, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Algerian civil war, Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait, the Bosnian and Kosovo wars, the American invasion and occupation of Iraq and the 2011 Arab revolutions. Occasionally describing himself as an ‘Ottoman correspondent’ because of the huge area he covers, Fisk joined The Independent in 1989. He has written best-selling books on the Middle East, including Pity the Nation and The Great War for Civilisation. He was born in Kent in 1946 and gained his BA in English and Classics at Lancaster University. He holds a PhD in politics from Trinity College, Dublin.

Bush when we were tricked into going into Iraq the first time by that false flag story about the Iraqi soldiers taking those babies out of their incubators. The young woman making those charges was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador. It was a lie to get us into the gulf war. It is always the same old stunt, they have to find a villain and we run in to save the day.
