It’s been increasingly clear that the war in Iraq is essentially over. The mortality rate in the Iraq theater has dropped well below the comparable civilian population. (In the last year, we lost more Americans on the streets of Chicago than in Iraq, and that period includes the surge itself.) Unfortunately, counterinsurgencies don’t have sharp conclusions, so there won’t be any particular day that we can celebrate as V-I day.
Zombietime wants to rectify that by proclaiming November 22 as Victory in Iraq day. (Via LGF.) I’m not sure why he picked that day in particular, but it’s as good as any other.
Here’s a picture of what that victory has accomplished:
