My, you're behind.

In a brief-ish summary - in the Secret Invasion crossover from 2008 there's a massive Skrull attack on Earth. The Skrulls target Tony Stark and take out virtually every single piece of Stark Industries technology, discrediting him as pretty much useless. At the same time, Norman Osborn shoots the Skull Queen on camera in the final battle of the invasion, making him into something of a hero. The government puts Osborn in charge of SHIELD which ends up getting replaced by a new organisation named HAMMER. All the while he's involved in a secret alliance with a bunch of villains like Doctor Doom, Loki, The Hood and others and uses his power to basically further his own agenda. Siege is basically going to be the heroes finally fighting back against Osborn & co and presumably knocking him out of power.
