"In the Name of God the Most Merciful and the Most Compassionate."

I notice every document starts with this proclamation. Kinda debunks "the Baathists were secular" BS.

Oh no, that just means that Karl Rove messed up his Arabic writing machine settings and had it set for islamacists instead of just tyrannical ruler. ;-)

Well, I think they WERE secular, but they got religion quickly when it suited them. Notice the "God is Great" modification to the Iraqi flag, I think back before Gulf War I. It was a pandering attempt to sway the "Arab Street" to their side.
