Iraq War

The Iraq War was a conflict in the early 21st century. Lance Metcalf's father was killed fighting in this conflict prior to 2008. (SJA: Warriors of Kudlak) Tommy Brockless saw a news broadcast on the war while drinking in a pub after being taken out of suspended animation in 2008. He was saddened that wars still took place ninety years after he had fought in the First World War, which had been described at the time as "The War to End All Wars." (TW: To the Last Man)

In 2007, a BBC News bulletin reported on the Iraq War. The report indicated that the United States and United Kingdom governments were anticipating final victory in Iraq in the near future. (BFA: Unregenerate!)

Behind the scenes

 * In DW: World War Three, Joseph Green claims that WMDs could be launched in forty-five seconds. This is a parody of Tony Blair's claim that Iraq could launch in forty-five minutes, a major factor in the war.
