The Kurds are yella?

The Iraqi National Congress is doing all they can to make Paul Bremer and the CPA look, by comparison, like they know what's going on. But I have a suspicion that the CPA, after perusing their long list of "to-dos," said to Chalabi and Pachachi, "Ah, here's something you guys should be able to do. Have a 'new flag contest.'"

Predictable results. There's some debate as to which is more offensive to Iraqis: that it resembles the Israeli flag, or the Swedish?

I need to confirm this, but I think that the flag described in the Washington Post as "the Iraqi flag design as it appeared under Saddam Hussein," actually predated him.
