I had heard sometime ago that the Iraq flag was being redesigned. The first one's colors were too close to the flag of Israel.

Heck, I guess Betsy Ross didn't get it right the first time either!

The timing of this vis a vis the fat slob's propoganda film is pretty sweet.

LOL... Over on DU, they're speculating that the early handover was all a sneaky Bush plot to distract attention from F 9/11.

Bremer had one tough gig. No doubt about it. And the DUmmies are calling him a coward. Like to see em say it to his face.

Well it certainly proves that the claim by the left and the Buchananites that we are an imperialist power is bunk.

But Bremer forgot the oil! He was supposed to load all Iraq's oil into a huge Halliburton supertanker jet and fly it back to Bush's ranch in Midland, TX for processing. Michael Moore told me so!
