Three equal
horizontal bands of red (top), white, and black; the Takbir (Arabic
expression meaning "God is great") in green Arabic script
is centered in the white band; the band colors derive from the Arab
Liberation flag and represent oppression (black), overcome through
bloody struggle (red), to be replaced by a bright future (white);
the Council of Representatives approved this flag in 2008 as a compromise
temporary replacement for the Ba'athist Saddam-era flag.
note: similar to the flag of Syria, which has two stars but no script,
Yemen, which has a plain white band, and that of Egypt, which has
a gold Eagle of Saladin centered in the white band
