MP Questions Iraqi Woman's Conference Speech
The weeping Iraqi woman who begged Labour conference delegates not to vote to withdraw British troops from the country has “strong connections” with the CIA, Britain’s most senior back bench MP claimed today.Labour’s Tam Dalyell, a persistent critic of the Iraqi war and Father of the House of Commons asked: “Have we been duped yet again?”

In her speech, Shanaz Rashid appealed to the conference in Brighton: “Please, please, do not desert us in our hour of need.” Now, Mr Dalyell, MP for Linlithgow, has written to the Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, asking how it came about that Rashid was given centre stage at the conference when she was not even a delegate.


“At all events, Rashid’s performance is reminiscent of the performance of the so called nurse at the Kuwait hospital telling US coast to coast TV that babies had been thrown out of incubators by Iraqi troops during the first Gulf war.

“The nurse subsequently turned out to be the actress daughter of the then Kuwait ambassador in Washington and had never been near the hospital.”Mr Dalyell: “I would be grateful if you would give Parliament and the party the facts and the circumstances in which Rashid was given centre stage at Brighton. Have we been duped yet again?”

1. Bingo. Another award winning performance. But, I bet the connection....
...is through the NeoCon connections to that part of the world, just as the family of the actress daughter of the then Kuwaiti ambassador was close Big Oil and to the Bush family.
