Proclamation of the "General Command of the Armed Forces"

This is current, but in a little less than a year, I'll want to use this proclamation in my History of Islamic Civilization course as an illustration of Arab nationalism in Iraq (English translation below the Arabic).

It will be interesting, to say the least, to look back on this from that unknown future situation.

It's quite possible that this proclamation is a complete fantasy, but the language is interesting nonetheless.
