Pizza Hut and Burger King in Iraq!
2003-04-22
Hat tap to InstaPundit. Edited for brevity.
Fastfood giants Pizza Hut and Burger King have set up their first franchises inside war-torn Iraq, even as many aid convoys waited on the borders for the war to officially end. The arrival of the two restaurants - sited inside giant trailers on a British military base near Basra - won a rapturous welcome from soldiers, whose limited range of rations lost their appeal many weeks ago. But some officers were less keen on the new arrivals, which are due to start selling food tomorrow."I would prefer we got decent showers and toilets sorted out first," sniffed muttered one high-ranking officer. Permission to open the restaurants was granted through the British Army and they will be run by existing franchise holders from Kuwait, with a percentage of any profits going to charity.
That military campaign was nothing. Here comes the real invasion!

#1  Got to hand it to the Kuwaitis. Even if they were going to institute sharia around 9/11.
