Right wing Republicans insist they are "Christians". They were holding guns to the heads of Iraqi's and could have made them write pretty much anything they wanted into their constitution. What they did was enshrine "theocracy" into the Iraqi constitution under Article 2. Only it wasn't a Christian Theocracy, but a hard core right wing Islamic theocracy. They couldn't even get that right. Not even that. Pathetic.
Bush botched every aspect of the invasion of Iraq including the victory. Instead of engaging the Iraqi people in the freedom, Bush and the boys from the Blackwater, Haliburton, et al, tried to force the Iraqi's to sell their oil and their factories to US interests.
The whole Iraqi War, with thousands of American lives lost and over 100,000 Iraqi's killed, tortured or missing, was a huge cash grab for Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney and the boys. Shock and awe to terrify the Iraqi's so badly that they could loot the country before anyone noticed. But the Iraqi's noticed the Americans and the Saudis getting bags of cash while they starved and the Iraqi's fought back - hard.
They destroyed the public health system in Iraqi. People were hungry under Saddam, but they starved under Bush. Bush, Cheney et al drove the Iraqi people into the arms of the Imans. That clause in the new Constitution, was a sop to appease the Iraqi people while Bush stole their oil. It didn't work.
Actually, Saddam poisoned the water and killed hundreds of thousands in one fell swoop.
