Baghdad (CNN) -- Amid growing unrest about poor public services and water shortages, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on Friday agreed to cut his salary in half.

Protesters around Iraq have said recent popular uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia inspired their weeklong demonstrations for improvements in government services and their quality of life.

Thousands have rallied since Sunday across the country, railing against rampant poverty, a 45% national unemployment rate and shortages of food, electricity and water, including several hundred in three different parts of Baghdad on Friday.

hmm, weren't some folks recently arguing that Bush's invasion of Iraq inspired the Egyptians? It looks like it was the other way around.

Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.

Someone Actually said that?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA I... caN'T....STOP.....

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

Saturday, February 05, 2011 Al-Arabiyyah TV Al-Arabiyyah's coverage has become inconsistent: as the correspondents of the news station of King Fahd's brother-in-law suffer attacks and harassment from government goons, the reality on the ground speaks against the strong ally of House of Saud. But the editorial and general studio-based coverage is still solidly pro-Mubarak. When the gas pipe line was bombed yesterday, the station was at pains to insist that this targeted pipe line carries gas to Jordan, not Israel. But they still could not explain why the gas to Israel has been halted. Explain it, you tools of the Saudi royal family. Posted by As'ad at 7:19 AM

HERE's what's inspiring the People of Egypt:

YSRAEL and Oil to the US.

While 50% are either Unemployed or making $2 a day or less. Another 40% making less than $3500 per year.

Note not one of those Clearly audible Chants in Tahrir Square being Translated for Amerika?

8D

Obama's propagandist ""The treaty is not with a particular president," Gibbs said. "It is with the government, the country and the people of Egypt."" Is that why you have sabotaged democracy in Egypt and propped up dictators for over 35 years? Wait. I get it. Mubarak speaks for the Egyptian people. I see. I see. Posted by As'ad at 12:37 AM

Israel is reassuring itself "U.S. expects Egypt to keep peace with Israel regardless of who is in power." Wait. Is that the same US which said that "the events in Tunisia are uniquely Tunisian"? Just checking.
