Iraq War

The Iraq War was a conflict in the early 21st century. Lance Metcalf's father, Simon Metcalf, was killed fighting in this conflict just before Christmas 2007 (PROSE: Warriors of Kudlak, TV: Warriors of Kudlak) and Major Philip Kirby was fired for abusing Iraqi prisoners. (AUDIO: The Longest Night)

When ICIS committed acts of false flag terrorism in 2005, media pundits suggested this may be Islamist attacks in response to the Iraq War. (AUDIO: The Longest Night)

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. (AUDIO: Unregenerate!)

In February 2008, 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." (TV: To the Last Man)

Later in 2008, Connie Winter described the Iraq War as "a war which shouldn't have happened." (AUDIO: A Perfect World)

Sally Morgan's grandfather served as a colonel in the Iraq War. (AUDIO: Black and White)

Behind the scenes

 * In World War Three, Joseph Green claims that "massive weapons of destruction" 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 decision to go to war.
