A Glorious Victory

During the past night while everyone slept, our brave soldiers fighting the war against our eternal enemies in Iraq have won yet another glorious victory! They successfully destroyed yet another band of Iraqi insurgents, thus bringing the war one step closer to an end. In this battle, however, they captured several key leaders of the Iraqi insurgency. With these key leaders under Oceania's control, we will be able to completely rout the enemy. Interrogations have already uncovered several key weapons deposits and safehouses used by the insurgents in Iraq, and we may very well be able to breach their security and capture the head of the Iraqi insurgency within the next few days.

In order to celebrate this tremendous victory, the chocolate ration will be increased to 20 grams per week. Although the Ministry of Plenty had not scheduled any increase in the 15 gram chocolate ration before January of 2011, the Party has decided that an unplanned celebration was in order as a response to this wonderful news.

More important than the increased chocolate ration, however, is the fact that the war is now within measurable distance of its end. Unfortunately, despite scoring this glorious victory against the evil Iraqi insurgents, our mission is not yet accomplished. In any case, we fully expect to have every last one of our brave soldiers home in time for the festivities on July 4th, 2010.
