Operation Pillows
Description: On September 8, 2002, just a year after the 9/11 attacks, then-national security adviser Condoleezza Rice said “We don’t want the smoking gun of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction or WMD to be a mushroom cloud.” America would invade Iraq on March 19, 2003 based on continued accusations from the Bush Administration that Saddam Hussein was in possession of WMDs, but after taking control of the nation, 18-months of extensive searches turned up nothing. This magnificent parody of the 2000 comedy 'Dude, Where's My Car?' lampoons the Bush Administration and their WMD claims perfectly and now, two decades later, it's back for another run!
Description: The Gulf War (2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991), codenamed Operation Desert Shield (2 August 1990 – 17 January 1991) for operations leading to the buildup of troops and defense of Saudi Arabia and Operation Desert Storm (17 January 1991 – 28 February 1991) in its combat phase, was a war waged by coalition forces from 35 nations led by the United States against Iraq in response to Iraq's invasion and annexation of Kuwait arising from oil pricing and production disputes.
Description: Operation Desert Storm was the combat phase of the Gulf War, launched on January 17, 1991, after Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. Led by a U.S.-backed coalition of more than 30 nations, the campaign began with an extensive air offensive targeting Iraqi command centers, infrastructure, and military positions. After weeks of sustained bombing, a swift ground assault commenced on February 24, overwhelming Iraqi forces in just 100 hours. The operation successfully liberated Kuwait and demonstrated the effectiveness of modern, technology-driven warfare, including precision-guided munitions and advanced air power. It also marked a significant moment in post–Cold War geopolitics, showcasing broad international cooperation under the United Nations.
