iraq's new flag

i can't find a photo, but here's a description. (via raed).

i never heard of this particular news source before, so maybe it's bullshit, but doesn't the flag sound suspiciously like the israeli flag but with a star and crescent instead of the star of david? (i don't quite follow where the "yellow strip" fits in, but it might ruin the quasi-israeli design i am imagining)

...okay, i found a picture (here). it doesn't look much like an israeli flag after all, but according to this article, some think its too close.

and how did the kurds come to be symbolized as yellow? not all that flattering, at least when you consider what it would mean to our texan president.
