The Iraqi Governing Council has approved a new Iaqi flag to symbolize the new Iraq free from Saddam. The guy in charge of selecting a new flag just called up his brother in London and told him to design one. And now they're claiming that it was the best from a number of proposals, despite the fact that the guy who designed it said his brother made no mention of a competition.

Old


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New



The Iraqi people hate it. They say it looks too much like the Israeli flag, and they want to have the red, black and green like every Islamic nation around them. Just shows how out of touch the IGC is. The old flag has quickly become a matter of national honour. People who support the new flag are seen as collaborators while the insurgents proudly rally under the old.

Oh, the two blue stripes are supoposed to be the Tigris and the Euphrates, while the gold stripe in the middle is supposed to be the Kurds.

Gotta say, this is a particularly heavy-handed move. Its just one more reason for normal Iraqis to hate the US and the IGC.

Is this the new version or the old one?

The governing council, after receiving pretty angry feedback, decided to change the flag... but making the blue darker!

Clever move, dudes!

That's the gayest thing I've seen since they tried to get some black stripes put in the Union Jack to appease the politically correct bastards.

[Janos]

WHY DO THE ****ING KURDS DOMINATE THE LAND BETWEEN EUPHRAT AND TIGRIS

Well, that's at least what it looks like.

I got bored and irate:

I take it the round thing is a crater then?

[Flipside]

LOL I bet the Iraqis are going to love having a Yellow stripe on their flag, talk about rub their face in it!

It looks like 2 flags joined together...

Now where have I seen the lower part?

Yes. If they're gonna make em a new flag     they could at LEAST use their colors. Or let them choose their flag

S-S-S-Sweden?!

[Grey Wolf]

If they don't want to use the old flag, they could go for an older flag:

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Yes

[Janos]

SKABBADABADO BIBA BOBIBABO

edit: He's dead, though.

[Grey Wolf]

Now Janos, that was uncalled for. We were having a (semi-)serious discussion here.

[an0n]

We are? Damn.

[Grey Wolf]

You fall under the (semi-) heading, since your random, off topic tangents are highly amusing, as opposed to "SKABBADABADO BIBA BOBIBABO".

[an0n]

Well, I certainly have a semi.

And if you've actually missed what Janos' post was in reference to, I'm going to string you up by the balls and burn you alive, you capitalist dog.

Something seems out of place....I can't quite put my finger on it.

...oh I know, the Syrian flag is way off the mark. They really ought to consider changing it.

also, WTF are those two wierd flags beside the United Arab Emirates? They're just silly.....

edit: Oh, one of them in Bahrain. What's the other one? And for that matter, who designed these things?

..maybe its abstract or something. Pollock would be proud.

Politicians whose first choice of profession was graphic artist, but they couldn't cut it.
