get rid of their government services and throw them out of work.
Iraqis, who are already dealing with food shortages, daily power blackouts and a deadly insurgency, on Sunday received another dose of bad news: Their newly elected leaders may slash budgets and government jobs.
Many fear that the move could cause impoverished Iraqis to sympathize with rebel forces.....
As many as half of Iraq's 6.5 million-strong workforce is employed by the state, thanks in part to ousted President Saddam Hussein, who increased the public payroll to mask unemployment and shore up a faltering economy.
Kubba did not say how many jobs could be eliminated, but he warned that budget cuts "will be a bit painful."
Cutting government services while stuff is being blown up right and left.
Un-frigging-believable.
THAT will win their support: occupy their country, bomb the crap out of their cities, cut off government help, and fire the ones who have jobs.
Then tell them that we're there to help them.
And keep a straight face.
