Iraqi Prime Minister Asks Bush To Give General Petraeus The Boot
By Logan Murphy Saturday Jul 28, 2007 3:32pm
Via The Telegraph:
Relations between the top United States general in Iraq and Nouri al-Maliki, the country's prime minister, are so bad that the Iraqi leader made a direct appeal for his removal to President George W Bush.
Although the call was rejected, aides to both men admit that Mr Maliki and Gen David Petraeus engage in frequent stand-up shouting matches, differing particularly over the US general's moves to arm Sunni tribesmen to fight al-Qa'eda.
One Iraqi source said Mr Maliki used a video conference with Mr Bush to call for the general's signature strategy to be scrapped. "He told Bush that if Petraeus continues, he would arm Shia militias," said the official. "Bush told Maliki to calm down."
At another meeting with Gen Petraeus, Mr Maliki said: "I can't deal with you any more. I will ask for someone else to replace you." Read more...
Calm down? President Bush armed Maliki's enemies in a bloody civil war and now he wants him to calm down. Nobody could have predicted this outcome. Howie has more on this. Apparently, Saudi Arabia refuses to work with Maliki and accuse him of being an agent of Iran. The thlot pickens...

If the "Decider" says "calm down", then calm down!
bob @ 1:
So now he's the Pacifier?
Nouri al-Maliki's comments will be scrubbed or ignored or withdrawn as so many of his past comments were.
Nothing that contradicts the official lies is allowed to stand. Whatever drives these NeoCons it is immune to truth and the wishes of either the American or Iraqi people.
thlot pickens?
LeeF @ 4:
Just a play on "The plot thickens" apparently.
Send the General home? I say yes and while their at it send the rest of out troops home too.
"Calm down" sounds a lot like something one might hear from a puppeteer.
The only thing that Boosh has accomplished is making Iraq an extension of Iran.Heck of a job booshie
The Decider -- a.k.a. the Pacifier, the Chimp, and the Commander Guy -- realizes his vision of Iraq is falling apart, and he will do everything he can to keep this failed state together until he leaves office. Maliki must realize he is not the true leader of Iraq, but a puppet of the glorius Imperator, and therefore has no right to dismiss Betraeus.
This situation is so far beyond FUBAR, you can't even see it in the distance.
€Punk @ 2:
someone should give Giorgio a pacifier, AMIRITE?
mudshark @ 8:
there is no connection with Iran! stop being a parrot!
Hip, hip, hooray for al Maliki. I wish he'd go to the UN with his request.
The Monkey Man King doesn't listen to anybody.
I think Bush should go over there himself to calm Maliki down, hold and console him as the explosions go off around them.
George bush is a calming man.
"Relax. Take it easy."
Absent the US presence, the situation would resolve itself - but not in the way Bush wants. So, it is destined for permanent war while the US is there.
Even those that on paper support and are supported by the US - in the end - dont support the US or Bush's goals.
But we know all this.
I would almost bet folding money that before the end of this term, Bush will create open fighting/combat in at least one other part of SW Asia. Removing US troops then isnt likely regardless who is in charge.
For the oil, his croneys and the house of saud, he would do that.
The house of saud isnt worth it - redundant. In the '70s I met a number of (lesser) members of the royal family in Arizona. Honestly, they are swine - inhuman swine. In my opinion, the members of the royal family see everyone not in the family as cattle - meaningless - openly so. These particular members were dumb, mean and arrogant - reminds me today of Bush.
The house of saud are vile thugs who happen to be wealthy and hence powerfull. Civility is foreign to them - the weekly beheading gives them feelings of warmth, home and hearth.
The US has made a deal with the devil - no three devils - counting the Bush family and the conservatives.
Maybe Bush should smoke a joint with Maliki.
That always calms me down.
Isn't the house of saud a dance club in Vegas?
they should waterboard Maliki. That is very calming, I hear. Makes people a lot more pliable. They'll say anything you want, it's fantastic!
This is a very bold move. I am definitely not crediting Bush for this (way to far above his caliber of thought, this seems more of a Cheney move).
This is a possible exit strategy for the US, as the scenario goes like this:
1. US arms Sunni
2. Shi'a government retaliates with closer ties with Iran.
3. Sunni groups gather closer relations from their neighbors in the region, primarily the Saudis.
4. Regional conflict progresses leading to two options for war-hawks.
Option 1:
Back one group over the other, providing weapons and political cover. This would most likely be Sunni over Shi'a seeing as the Bush admin has a bone to pick with Shi'a Iran.
Option 2:
From the Bush Neocon perspective, let the two groups fight each other, eventually calming down after mass casualties and come in the end to shape the outcome.
This, of course, is speculation. But, having watched the thought processes of these people in the past, there is no doubt this has come across the table.
BaScOmBe @ 12:
EXCUSE ME...Is Maliki a shia,is that religous sect from Iran?C'mon Bascombe.....check your meds bud.....
shit Maliki has had meetings with the Prez of Iran more than once.I'm not saying invade Iran.....but
anon @ 17:
Well it's a good thing that we're going to sell them 20 billion dollars worth of high tech weaponry, huh? I'm being snarky. You just know that we'll be seeing that stuff used against us somewhere down the line.
Strawberry, do you know when Congress is supposed to vote on this $20 billion Saudi arms deal? Probably after the August recess, I guess. I'm keeping a close eye on the Democrats and how they vote on this.
well, now we see/hear saudi arabia is working/helping shit-for-brains and cheney try to bring iran into the spotlight and start a new illegal war front with iran.
bush and his extended family in saudi arabia are the blame for all the touble in iraq.
and did i mention israel is behind bush/lieberman's push to invade iran too?
We wouldn't be having this discussion if boosh wouldn't of invaded Iraq.period
Nate @ 5
Nah, brother to the late Thlim Pickens.
chimpy is such a dumbass. He made a mockery of killing the head of the Sunnis. He killed Hussein's relatives including children. He used willie pete too scourch their land. He tortures Iraqis (more like he tortures anything brown and moving) on a regular basis. He's blowing up anything breathing. He puts in place a general who believes the more dead the closer to victory he is.
What a bright idea to supply Sunnis with weapons. The Sunnis he wants to kill.
Iraqis have been saying the US needs to leave. chimpy refuses; then repugs defend this bullshit with bullshit answers.
chimpy is a madman with unlimited power. And the house is full of assholes who thinks this is all right.
They just want them the Iraq's to "sign the damn oil agreement". That would be check mate.
Another puppet the US set up in power didn't fare so well. Maliki had better watch his back. Something is cooking, and it's going to be rigged to look like a Sunni on Sunni gang-up.
http://ngothelinh.tripod.com/NgoDinhDiem.html
Maliki only hates him because of his freedom....
Seriously, WTF kind of diplomacy is "Calm Down"?! Did Bush serious expect Maliki to sit down and shut up while Bush armed one side in a civil war while continually undermining Maliki's government. Or more than likely Bush didn't even consider how Maliki would feel.
I'm just waiting for the Sunni insurgents to become the next Al Qaeda in 30 years.
Boosh is finally realizing what he's done.So he sells weapons to SA(sunnis).With Iran sitting on the sidelines waiting.The Shia's in Iraq won't take this sitting down.They will do whatever it takes to keep the Sunnis at bay.So now we're talking Iraq,Iran,Saudia Arabia,possibly Syria all getting in on it.And Turkey has more than a division on Iraq's northern border.....
mudshark @ 22:
Iranians and Iraqis are - wait - TWO DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES!
US propaganda does not make OUR IRAQ OCCUPATION an issue involving Iran.

Selling Saudi's 20 billion in high-tech weaponry, huh? Whose oil are they being set up to steal?
It will be veeeeeerrrry interesting to see how the dems vote on that. Then we'll know who's who.
Welcome to fucking hell on earth.
for Mudshark: the 'president in this case seems to be cheney - AGAIN!
You want some 'ginned-up' intelligence?
Do you prefer to repeat the endless meme about Iran?

Maliki didn't get the AEI talking point that the surge hasn't started yet
Newsweek: Aug. 6, 2007 issue - Six years after 9/11 , U.S. intel officials are complaining about the emergence of a major "gap" in their ability to secretly eavesdrop on suspected terrorist plotters. In a series of increasingly anxious pleas to Congress, intel "czar" Mike McConnell has argued that the nation's spook community is "missing a significant portion of what we should be getting" from electronic eavesdropping on possible terror plots. Rep. Heather Wilson, a GOP member of the House intelligence community, told NEWSWEEK she has learned of "specific cases where U.S. lives have been put at risk" as a result. Intel agency spokespeople declined to elaborate.

This won't take a sec. *Cheney silently enters Maliki's conference room*
He proceeds to squeeze Maliki's balls hard and says viciously "If you ever so much as mention Petraeus again I will take you quail hunting".
It'll be interesting to see how Maliki acts on Monday. I mean I seem to remember several instances where he's spoke out and then comes straight back and spouts the WH line. Hopefully he grows a pair and maintains his request. It's surely untenable to keep Petraeus if he does.
[Basta! Sitemonitor]
We are rotting in Iraq. Occupation Armies turn to pot. We've trained the Iraqui Army but can't effectively arm them with tanks and helicopters because of situations like this, where they could very easily become combatants against us! Bush is trying to erase his tracks whereby he gave Iraq to Iran eventually. They will probably end up effectively arming the Iraqui Army with tanks and helicopters. We probably never intended to arm the Iraqui Army, but to occupy Iraq permanently. The continuation of our occupation is politically untenable, and the war must be ended before other unforseen events darken our horizon.
The move to arm Sunnis will foment full-blown civil war. I believe that this is a Hegelian/Straussian "managed conflict" move on the part of those who do Bush's thinjing for him. The neocon's agenda includes lasing conflict staged and managed for wealth, power and consolidation of global rule by "elites". The conflicts that these so-called elites create are intended to be endless affairs. The longer they drag on, the longer the neocons have to manipulate things in their favor and the longer they have a cause from which they can foment fear.
Maliki can stop the bullshit by expelling the US and all foreign troops. If Iraq needs help, it can be provided under cover of the UN flag.

Bush to Maliki: "Oh, come on! We're just playing around! Can't you take a joke?"
Is Petraeus the Surgin' General?
myiq2xu @ 66:
Zing! He may be forced to be surgeon general to Maliki soon, too.
Not that we didn't already know this, but Bush is the most arrogant and disrespectful presidents since Nixon. At least Nixon knew how to salute in a way becoming of a commander in chief without dipping his head down showing weakness like Bush does. All very embarassing. The entire world is paying the price for this spoiled rich kids inability to let go of his spring-break-forever mentality.
Eamon @ 67:
Yeah, Maliki's likely to become a holy man real soon. That is, a man with many holes.

How about "The Sot drinkens"
Speaking of Bush:

myiq2xu @ 69:
Be careful, Ann Coulter might promote that threat. You know how much she values life.
Maliki obviously has difficulty understanding political chains of command.
He should be asking Petraeus to kick Bush's ass out on the street. After all, The Dummy has ceded the constitutional 'Civilian Control of the Military' to the general (do you suppose The Dummy is just lining up ScapeGoats, Hillary, Gonzales, Petraeus, Harriet).
Wouldn't our South American neighbors (especially you-know-who and you-know-who) laugh their asses off if Bush was deposed by a military coup?
South America, hell, it would take a month to get Putin off the floor.
"We will leave when the Iraqi people ask us to leave."
If the president of Iraq is not the representative for the people under the government we set up then no one is. Maliki told Bush he wants Petraeus to leave. I don't see the need for any further discussion much less the arrogant attitude from Bush.
Nixon was drunk most of the time, i suspect that Bush is on something that heighten his over confidence. He has no real success on anything in his life to award him confidence.
Ronald Reagan personified a "can do" kind of guy, while Bush personify a "fuck it" kind of guy.

Is Ann Coulter Orrin Hatch in drag?

Haven't you ever noticed him grinding his teeth? Hmmm.....
The U.S. should get out of Iraq. This is what would happen. The Shia tell Iran "Thanks for the help, now leave. Get out of our country". That is the part the people don’t want to believe. Everybody says that Iran will take over Iraq. Or they will have so much influence that Iraq will essentially become part of Iran. Well that will not happen. Iraq is Iraq. They don't want to be told what to do by Iran. Remember when Saddam invaded Kuwait, Saudi Arabia let the U.S. stage in their country to throw Saddam out of Kuwait. And Egypt helped the coalition in that war. Both those countries are Sunni. Saddam is/was Sunni. In fact Egypt harbored an exiled Saddam many years ago but Egypt helped throw Saddam out of Kuwait. Being from the same sect did not help Saddam. Saddam didn't listen to Saudi Arabia when it came to Kuwait. Why would Iraq listen to any other country? Just because Iraq and Iran are the same sect you cannot assume that Iraqi Shia will let Iranian Shia tell them what to do. As far as the Kurds go they have it figured out. And the Sunni? They will have to figure out how to have their own area. Joe Bidden knows has a good idea of how this will work out. Three different countries. Most of the Sunni have left the country anyway. And Al Qaeda? Well the Iraqis will kick their sorry butts out in a matter of hours after the U.S. leaves. You can bet your bottom $ that no Iraqi will be told what to do by some Al Qaeda nut. Just like they will do to the Iranians, "Thanks for the help. Now get the hell out." Bush will never get it. You know this. I know this. 73% of the U.S. knows this. 90% of the Iraqis want us out. Remember Iraq was better off with Saddam. I said it within 6 months of the U.S. invasion. Nobody wanted to say it at the time but now everybody knows it is true. Let's pack it up and leave tomorrow. No, today.
This stuff about we can't leave is nonsense. We should never have gone in and now we should leave.
How come no one's bitching about the giant raise our Washington politicians just gave themselves?
The understanding with AIPAC and AEI is that 20% of all US/Israeli military and foreign aid is kicked-back to the approving US politicians as 'campaign contributions', and Israel just got a whopping increase in military aid.
If the pols had to pay taxes on their cut, it would be enough to pay for the health program for kids.
I see this as a good sign, and definitely an indication of success for Gen. Petraeus!

Muddy, you have this exactly right. And this is why we can't leave and we can't stay.
Masao @ 21:
Credit Petraeus. I think he's trying to avoid the scenario you're outlining above, but the man understands 21st Century Counter-Insurgency (COIN). The Iraqi Shia are already a client of Iran. If we leave now, the Sunnis are as good as dead and Iraq becomes a part of the Caliphate of Greater Iran. Either a civil war or outright bloodbath.
Petraeus is trying to do to things with the Sunnis: Separate them from the Al Qaida/Jihadists, most of whom are imported from Syria and Saudi Arabia (so that he can take them out), and make the Sunnis strong enough so that the Shia might not attack them the moment we leave. The thing he is trying to get from the Shia is the Oil Revenue sharing agreement, which would split the money between the Shia, Sunni, and the Kurds.
Regarding the idea of letting them fight it out (which might be the result no matter what measures are taken), I think Kissinger once said about the Iraq-Iran war, "Pity they can't both lose."
Paul @ 61:
No, it's no longer in Neocon hands. Gates and Petraeus are trying to salvage the mess, and the Bush Administration and the GOP have been reduced to running interference in Congress to buy time.
Maliki is either a client or an agent of Iran. He's still an Iraqi, and if he just asked the U.S. to withdraw, he knows that there is a huge risk that his country will become the battleground for a regional conflict between Sunni and Shia, with possible incursion from Turkey against the Kurds. Why ask for withdrawal now when you know it might occur by Jan. 21st, 2009? Meanwhile, you're strengthening your position.
mudshark @ 27:
It's a shit sandwich, that's for sure. Petraeus says it might take ten years, but he knows he only has about two years on the outside. I wish him and our troops the best in this. They've been given what is nearly an impossible job for which they will never be thanked. (The job, at this point, isn't to "win". It's to not leave behind an Iranian client state. But I think you already knew this.)
(How was Baja? I never made it down. =( Hopefully this autumn.)
votingvet @ 31:
What is wrong with our little satraps/ puppets? How dare they belittle the generosity of "the white man's burden" to come invade their nations, and teach them "civilization". (After all the Iraqis never even heard of civilization prior to our 2003 invasion, right?)
It must be frustrating to Maliki to "lead" a gov't. when a foreign power has complete control over "his" govt's military, finances, etc. But if he wants more credibility w/ BushCo, he should do what the former Salvadoran puppet did in the 80s and come to the White House and kiss an American flag while shedding tears of "gratitude".
Then the 'Murikan people will realize what a great liberator he is and maybe support him w/ some Generals he likes

Bush Sets the Table for September: Who You Gonna Believe, Petraeus or Your Own Eyes?
Arianna Huffington, 07.26.2007
Bush is so gung-ho about listening to Gen. Petraeus not because he is an expert but because he is an expert who agrees with Bush.
Bush goes through more generals faster than anyone including Lincoln.
BushCo. is setting Petraeus up for a fall in September as the surge fails.
One more log for the fire. NEXT!
Never lose sight of the fact that the Neo Cons have no intention of leaving Iraq. Something about all those permanent bases. Not to mention the 700 million ? dollar embassy.Cant leave and have that nice new building unsecured can we ? Cant see many other Americans staying either to work without security.Bush is gonna ride this out and milk it to the end. Bushes mission is to completely reject the will of the majority of Americans and Congress.
They will resist until they are broken.
OK..at the risk of being called flame baiting.1st we need to get out of Iraq as soon as possible.But that won't happen overnite.2nd Iran does influence the politics of Iraq somewhat.It's only been doing that for about 1000 years with the exception of Saddam Hussien from 1979 on.It's kinda like this country with the way the religous rite influenced the political spectrum.Protestants,Catholics,Baptists ect.And to think that Iran doesn't have some kind influence on the shia based politics is somewhat naive.I'm not saying that they are controlling things I'm just saying that they have their finger in the pie.Should we do something about them?NO...I certainly hope not.Just like the Saudi's are influencing the sunni based politics.Diplomacy sounds like a good idea at this time.But Boosh want's to sell the Saudi's weapons. And I think that Capt'n Kangaroo is right with his above post saying that Iraq will not tolerate Iran inside it's borders.But that doesn't mean there isn't some dealing going on.My main point was and is How badly Boosh fucked up..he had no clue as to what kind of can of worms he had opened...more like a hornets nest...no I don't believe everything the MSM puts out...I'm not stupid...regardless of what some of my compatriots would have you think.But if you pay close enough attention you can get bits and pieces and when you put them all together a bigger picture starts to take shape. Again my point is that Boosh fucked up so badly that this could concievably grow into a war that will keep us there for decades.that was my point....no koolaid,no meds......no paranoia...no flaiming just my opinion.. Historically the entire region has mingled in each others politics for centuries........nuff said
before people start flaimbaiting perhaps some research into the history of the topic might be a good idea.
