Is an Orwellian inspired New Speak word, popularized by a notable dictator, to describe a scorched-earth war of unimaginable devastation that seeks to eliminate all people that don't swear fealty to the dictator. This specific type of war begins with military exercises and conscripts being told that they're going into a territory just for training purposes. Upon arriving in a foreign land, the military orders their troops to commit themselves to destroying apartment buildings, schools, hospitals, power plants, sewage and waste water treatment plants, indiscriminately killing civilians, as well as committing numerous war crimes. During public interviews, special-military-operation will be used in place of all of these horribly messy details in an attempt to sanitize a brutal and inhumane war that the dictator has instigated.
To spend several days watching news broadcasts on the main state channels, as well as surveying state-controlled newspapers, is to witness the extent of the Kremlin’s efforts to sanitize its war with the Orwellian term “special-military-operation” — and to make all news coverage align with that message.

Operation Desert Storm was when Iraq invaded Kuwait and Saddam called it:"The thirteenth province of Iraq". The U.S. Army drove back Saddam into his soil after 1991 (a few month's after the occupation). See also: Gulf War

A Bullshit, manufactured catchphrase used by the Bush administration to deceive the American Public.
In truth, it refers to Mr. Bush's personal crusade to avenge his father's inability to capture Saddam.
It is the Bullshit operation by the US Military to invade Iraq - which all began when Mr. Bush started lying about "weapons of mass destruction."
What a coincidence that these supposed weapons DIDN'T EVEN EXIST after we sent our troops to DIE in the Middle East.
The same type of political bullshit which came to define the Vietnam War era

Used by the aggressor to mellow how it is presented in the intent to hide realities for own citizens.
The invaded country experiences that the special military operation looks like a war, feels like a war, smells like a war and is without doubt a war.

When someone is always slow, sluggish and tardy. In a crisis they still maneuver like they are wearing medieval plate armor, and generally have the agility of a tractor with a missing wheel.
