Do unannounced visits to Iraq by Bush Admin Officials prove that it is NOT a sovereign nation?

"U.S. National Intelligence Director John Negroponte met Friday with the Iraqi prime minister, in the second visit this week by a top U.S. official. The unannounced visit to Baghdad comes amid spiraling violence that included seven American deaths and the discovery of 56 bodies in the Iraqi capital bearing signs of torture."

Let me just walk into your house uninvited, no matter how you spin it, I've violated the sovereignty of your home, no?

I could go on, is there anywhere else in the world where a political official just goes to other countries without the knowledge of the citizens in that country that is being visited?

The Bush Administration is constantly berating Hugo Chavez, but we KNEW that he was coming to the US.

I don't care if it's about safety or security, just say that Iraq is NOT sovereign so you will stop lying.

1. I think 150,000 foreign troops roaming around your nation's interior

prove that fact just fine.

2. Doesn't it just mean it's not announced to the public, but that the

dudes they're visiting are expecting them? Or can't they trust them EITHER, so maybe they won't tell them so there aren't ambushes waiting....

3. It's the latter

Not even the puppets know.

4. What evidence is there that the Iraqi "government" IS

a sovereign nation?

5. Yep add it to the list

of proof that Iraq is a US colony. Only this time we're only going to kill enough of the indigenous people so the rest don't mind being slaves and the only colonists will be oil workers.
