Zombietime.com has decided to declare this Saturday, November 22, 2008 to be Victory in Iraq Day:
We won. The Iraq War is over.
I declare November 22, 2008 to be “Victory in Iraq Day.” (Hereafter known as “VI Day.”)
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.
There’s not much I can add to this other than to give it my complete and whole-hearted support. After all, if we don’t celebrate this victory, who will?
My Only Problem Is The Date
Swamp_Yankee Wednesday, November 19th at 2:27PM EST (link)I’d like to see this movement generate some more momentum. I wish they postponed it until some time in December, but I like the idea.
Not Dead Yet!
I like the date personally....
Darin_H Wednesday, November 19th at 2:33PM EST (link)It happens to be the best date in the history of mankind.

Thank you Finrod.
Uma Richie Wednesday, November 19th at 6:10PM EST (link)From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for this gesture.
I have edited to nothing three different comments on your diary because I cannot adequately describe how much it means to me to hear that there is a movement to celebrate the accomplished mission.

Victory in Iraq Day
indym Thursday, November 20th at 2:14PM EST (link)I am an Army veteran and can tell you that there will probably not be a Victory in Iraq day. It will probably be many years that American troops will remain in Iraq. Although the number will be smaller. The end date may be determined when all American troops have left or a new medal such as a Iraq Defense Medal replaces that Iraq Campaign Medal. But there won’t be an Iraq Victory Day.
Still have my cap
Erick Brockway Friday, November 21st at 2:45AM EST (link)Bought a cap at Camp Doha in ‘03 that says “Mission Accomplished”. I’d love to add a “We Won” cap to really tweak the lefties in Starbucks.
VI Day! My blues are already pressed from inspection last month, can I kiss a pretty nurse in Times Square?
Note to lefties;

I gotta question for Erick Erickson & Directors
pilgrim Friday, November 21st at 7:38PM EST (link)Is RedState going to be a participating blog in celebrating Victory in Iraq Day? I have visited zombietime.com website, and I have seen updates to the list of participating blogs. So far RedState has not made this list.

Redstate should join the celebration of one of America's and especially our armed forces
Mike gamecock DeVine Friday, November 21st at 10:37PM EST (link)greatest accomplishments. Special honors are due President Bush for enduring the political heat and staying the course long enough so that a surge could work once Iraqis trusted us enough to pride the intel necessary.
No one will be able to say 10-20 years from now, or ever, that President Bush is responsile if extremists take over the Middle East.
God bless America! on V-I Day!

I'm disappointed this artwork does not grace RedState's front page
pilgrim Saturday, November 22nd at 9:39AM EST (link)RedState can choose to display front page stories about the future of Senate filibusters and the future junior Senator of New York instead of celebrating Victory in Iraq Day.
Is my post with the artwork that I am now seeing at other blogging sites an example of coming in and soiling the carpet here at RedState? If you do accuse this post of mine as soiling the carpet then I will plead guilty as charged.

It's not over yet...
Oscar98 Saturday, November 22nd at 12:48PM EST (link)I’m in Iraq right now. The next 6 months are crucial. Let’s hope Maliki, et al, don’t follow in Arafat’s footsteps; e.g. Never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
That’s all I have to say about that…
