NPR's Anne Garrels reports: Iraq gets new flag (Its a "must hear")
Edited on Mon Apr-26-04 08:37 PM by Mika
From today's All Things Considered on NPR

http://www.npr.org/rundowns/rundown.php?prgDate=26-Apr-2004&prgId=2

Go to,

"New Iraq Flag Rankles Public" (you'll need Realplayer) Its about 3 1/2 minutes long.

Its just dripping with sarcasm, irony, & dismay.

1. Right, the IGC designed a new flag
....in Israeli blue, with the 2 Israeli stripes, and a blue crescent without its star.

The Easter Bunny lays eggs every spring, too.

2. That is a good piece!
It basically says it all right at the end:

"...his voice dripping with irony and sarcasm, says that the Iraqi governing council apparently know better than the people."

Go Ann,

The Plaid Adder

4. Did she say how many of our tax dollars Chimpy wastes on this?
It probably cost us a couple of million and I'm sure the Iraqi's will be lining up to salute their new flag. The "rebuilding" is sure making progress!
