iraqi leaders have failed to gull use of a reduction in vehemence to seduce adequate progress toward resolving their administrative differences, gen. david h. petraeus, the top u.s. commander in iraq, said thursday.
Petraeus, who is preparing to testify to Congress next month on the Iraq war, said in an interview that “no one” in the U.S. and Iraqi governments “feels that there has been sufficient progress by any means in the area of national reconciliation,” or in the provision of basic public services.

Giving the Iraqis time to cobble together a functional unity government out of a broken sectarian mess was the rationale given for the Surge. There’s no indication that it’s happening or will suddenly happen any time soon. At the same time, there is very real progress, whether directly attributable to the Surge or not.
