What Ever Happened To The New Iraqi Flag? The Ugly One.
The one (I think) that was especially designed by the United States. With the blue and white and yellow?

1. I think the Iraqis rejected it
It was made fun of on some websites, and was likened to the Israeli flag. A big pr goof on the US's part, imho.

4. the Zionist-inspired flag was quietly dropped
Edited on Sat Jul-10-04 02:33 PM by Aidoneus
after it immediately sunk like a concrete block in the Tigris. It was officially British-designed, by the way.

The old flag just became yet another symbol of resistance, so it was maintained by the puppet regime.

5. Ah! British Designed... Thanks.
I had always thought that it was FAR too presumptuous for the coalition-of-the-willing to take it upon themselves to thrust THEIR view of what the Iraqi flag should look like.
