Yeah its great music and I think it closely resembles the original theme music (listen closely). I hear the same tune but with different instruments and it sounds excellent.
I whipped up a tiny webpage with all the credit music links on it: http://members.optusnet.com.au/wired_man/arrested.htm including AD_312-Exit_Strategy_Credit_Music.mp2, get it like a frozen banana on a hot day.

YES!!! Thank you so much for that. And yes, I do hear a resemblance to the theme music, too. That might very well be my favourite piece of music in the show, I know I had it stuck in my head for days the first time I saw the episode. 
EDIT: On a side note - hurrah, 1000 posts! Prepare the banner, people!

"Beamer love post"
Now I’m sad that theres only one more ep left for Seven to show, even though I’ve already seen them and they’re on at a crap timeslot.
Although on the other hand I finally got the season 2 DVD (I should be ashamed leaving it this long).

Well, one plus about the show’s cancellation - this storyline wouldn’t have been quite the same if they’d have done it after Saddam’s execution...

Ah yes another benefit to the death of Saddam

Hey all, just thought this was kind of funny - at the end of the episode, when they’re riding off in the rickshaw, the Arabic sign on the hill says "Baghdad" backwards — just a little inside joke for anyone who speaks Arabic

I always thought that if would have been funnier if, earlier in the episode, GM went to Gob asking for advice with a girl problem, to which Gob responds, "Just do exactly what I would do." Later, instead of "And perhaps it was the fake wine, but that was the night GM and Maeby went to second base.", it could have thrown in a running joke with "And perhaps it was just the fake wine, but GM decided to follow his uncles advice. So he *bleeped* Maeby." This could even be a return of the ’10 minutes later...’
