Question
This country’s government-in-exile indirectly hired PR firm Hill & Knowlton to raise American support for their restoration. A girl from this country testified before Congress about seeing babies ripped from incubators, but she was lying and was actually the daughter of this country’s ambassador to the United States. Carl Sagan oddly predicted that scorched earth actions taken by retreating forces to ruin this country’s economy would cause a nuclear winter; in reality, a 1.5-billion-dollar (*) firefighting effort stopped hundreds of blazes in the Burgan (“bur-GAHN”) Field. This is the southernmost country where soldiers were bombed along the “Highway of Death.” This country was liberated by the Norman Schwarzkopf-led Operation Desert Storm. For 10 points, name this country that Saddam Hussein invaded in the Gulf War. ■END■
