It leads to suspicion about current American military rationales and press briefings, according to Joyce Riley, spokesperson for the American Gulf War Veterans Association.
Riley suggests that the Pentagon, having lied to us about what happened before, is doing so again. She has heard from American veterans who claim the U.S. -- not Saddam's troops -- set fire to the oil wells in the first Gulf War.
Many American veterans -- and their offspring -- also fell sick after serving in the first Gulf War. A documentary, The Hidden Wars of Desert Storm, describes the use of depleted uranium in U.S. weaponry deployed in that war.
Riley, a registered nurse and an inactive USAF reservist, notes that the U.S. fabricated the story of Saddam Husein's Republican Guards throwing out babies from incubators. And more recently, the UN has charged that the U.S. relied on fake documents in the prelude to this war.
