Declare Victory in Iraq - April 4, 2009, Washington, DC

If y'all recall, we posted about Victory in Iraq Day (thanks again, for coming up with this Zombie!). I've gotten word from Concrete Bob at United Conservatives of Virginia that there will be a gathering on April 4th in DC to publicly declare Victory. As many of you know, my husband has done 3 tours in Iraq, we have friends currently serving in Iraq, and we've had friends wounded and killed in combat. You know I will be there supporting this effort and hope to become more involved than just a participant, if they will have me.



As I get more information, I will certainly share with you. Thanks, Concrete Bob for stopping in and we hope you won't be a stranger!

Victory In Iraq Day

Zombie has begun a crusade to declare November 22, 2008 Victory In Iraq Day. I am donning my HOOAH hat and joining he/she/it!

By every measure, The United States and coalition forces have conclusively defeated all enemies in Iraq, pacified the country, deposed the previous regime, successfully helped to establish a new functioning democratic government, and suppressed any lingering insurgencies. The war has come to an end. And we won.

What more indication do you need? An announcement from the outgoing Bush administration? It's not gonna happen. An announcement from the incoming Obama administration? That's really not gonna happen. A declaration of victory by the media? Please. Don't make me laugh. A concession of surrender by what few remaining insurgents remain in hiding? Forget about it.

This victory is further evidenced by the emails I receive from deployed friends stating "I'm bored". This is so counter to the ones I would get from my soldier (during his first and second deployment) stating "only x number of mortars today".

Thanks, guys. Be proud. Once again you showed up, kicked ass and peace erupted.
