Victory in Iraq Day

By Ros Prynn

November 22 is officially designated VICTORY IN IRAQ DAY. You may be excused if you haven't heard that screamed from the roof tops by the politicians. However, WE the people have seen that VICTORY is achieved in Iraq.

While we all wait for the politicians to catch up, (or not!), all the indications, statistics, progress in Iraq spell VICTORY!

Week after week, we have been sharing the Good News Stories that show progress in Iraq. Week after week, we have been watching and reporting on the proof that this fledgling democracy in Iraq is working.

In months when the number of killings in Chicago outnumbers the military casualties in Iraq, we have pointed out that this IS victory.

It's official - we won!

Tired of waiting for the main stream media to declare what we have known for months, we believe what our troops have been telling us. WE WON!

"THE WAR IS OVER AND WE WON:" Michael Yon just phoned from Baghdad, and reports that things are much better than he had expected, and he had expected things to be good. "There's nothing going on. I'm with the 10th Mountain Division, and about half of the guys I'm with haven't fired their weapons on this tour and they've been here eight months. And the place we're at, South Baghdad, used to be one of the worst places in Iraq. And now there's nothing going on. I've been walking my feet off and haven't seen anything."[link: www.pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/archives2/027203.php]

This IS victory Zombie Time

'Victory central' is Zombie Time. There you will find all the information needed to join in the celebration of VICTORY IN IRAQ DAY. After months of sharing boots on the ground stories; after months of giving statistics; after so long sharing vignettes from the Iraqis themselves, WE the people now declare VICTORY in Iraq:

WE WON THE WAR IN IRAQ

But where's the official announcement?

The only reason that the war has not been declared "over" is that the media, which was generally opposed to the war and opposed to any of President Bush's policies, doesn't want to give him and his supporters the satisfaction of having been right. The media wants U.S. troops to return home, but only on condition that they do so with their tails between their legs in defeat - not as victorious liberators, which would invalidate five years of subtle and not-so-subtle anti-war propaganda on the part of the left-leaning media. The Bush administration for its part has not declared victory for two probable reasons: first, because they fear that by so doing they would only increase the call by the media and liberal Democrats to "bring the troops home now"; and also by so doing they might invite some last-ditch spectacular terror attack by the few remaining jihadists in order to embarrass the administration. And the incoming Obama administration will certainly never announce victory, since Obama spent over a year campaigning for the Democratic primary as the anti-war candidate. So both sides refuse to say the war is over. Even though it is, in fact, over.

It is up to the American people to declare victory. Which is exactly what we are doing right now.

There never will be an "official" announcement from the government or the media, so you can stop waiting for it.

This is the official announcement. [link:http://www.zombietime.com/vi_day/]
