Bush said he could not send thousands of troops into Pakistan to search (for OBL) without an invitation from the government. "Pakistan's a sovereign nation," Bush said.
Yet, we sent thousands of troops into Afghanistan to find him. Weren't they a sovereign nation also. Wasn't Iraq a sovereign nation?
On the other hand, Bush defies the U.N and invades Iraq, then has this to say about Sudan, where atrocities as bad and worse than those that were taking place in Iraq occur daily.
"What you'll hear is, well, the government of Sudan must invite the United Nations in for us to act. Well, there are other alternatives, like passing a resolution saying, we're coming in with a U.N.
Why wait for the UN? We invaded Iraq to liberate the Iraqi people, why not do the same for the people of Sudan? Oil? Revenge for daddy? Please explain.

Republicans say F*ck you! to the U.N. and every other nation all day long... and then hide behind it as an excuse for their lack of action...
they do what they want, when they want, for whatever reason they want... and 3,000 dead is clearly not much motivation for them...
coragryph: if that's the game they are playing, then no wonder Iran is in such a rush to get nukes... it's US invasion insurance...

You might as well look for logical consistency in "Alice in Wonderland"
His actions were not based on ideology, but on a ruthless and entirely self-interested form of pragmatism. And when I say "self," I don't mean the nation as a whole. Iraq had something he wanted, and Pakistan does not.
Truly, this nation has gone through the looking glass.

Afghanistan really was the base camp for training al Qaeda terrorists.
Iraq refused to sell its oil for US Dollars, instead used Euros. Also, it was a constant threat to Saudi Arabia.
Sudan has no oil, not much foreign exchange, and isn't really a threat to the USA in any way.

Because Bush doesn't want to invade Pakistan, since Pakistan has nuclear weapons. Iraq and Afghanistan didn't so they are fair game.

I think we are a little busy right now. Why don't you write a letter to the UN?
