“He has publicly told Petraeus that he cannot work with him anymore, over Petraeus making short term headlines for surge progress by making all nice with the Sunnis and helping to arm them.”

When did he publicly make this claim? Are you using a fabricated story that has already been rebuffed:

“To Maliki, that is treason within Iraq and siding with the enemy. “

Now you appear to be saying that reconciliation with the Sunnis is treason, according to Maliki. When did he make this claim? Wouldn’t his public statements urging reconciliation be regarded as treason then?

That is a denial from Petraeus, not a denial from Maliki. Read the freaking article.

Can't say I blame him, we are clueless and have been from approximately two weeks after the invasion.
