The.... a-likeness... is remarkable. http://images.scotsman.com/2005/08/16/ts16iraq.jpg Caption: Standing in front of posters promoting the constitution, a boy sells stickers of an eagle in Iraq's national colours. Picture: Getty Images
Sooo much less tacky than all the Rendon supplied flags handed out to the Kuwaitis some years ago..
Query: Does anyone suppose that there's still an operating print shop around Baghdad with the the vinyl sticker paper to make this "stuff", or was it all flown over on C-5As and paid for on DoD's tab?

Iraq stumbles over constitution, with two key issues unresolved
MARGARET NEIGHBOUR
IRAQ'S parliament last night agreed to a seven-day extension for leaders to complete a draft constitution after politicians failed to meet a deadline for agreement on the charter. Parliament adjourned after voting to extend the deadline until 22 August, acting on a request from Kurdish leaders for more time.
While Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish framers of the charter reached a tentative deal yesterday, resolving issues ranging from oil revenues to the country's name, they put off decision on the most contentious questions - including federalism, women's rights, the role of Islam and possible Kurdish autonomy. <More>
