The time for acknowledging sovereignty is prior to invading it. Afterwards, when it had become US occupied, the argument seems silly. The change occurred when W invaded, not when Obama became President. That said, W tried all he could to get Pakistan to play ball with us regarding AQ, and his diplomacy failed. Beginning 2005, he initiated drone strikes in Pakistan. Obama stepped them up. And made them a lot more effective. quote:

ORIGINAL: Owner59 "Romney attacks Obama over Pakistan warning" http://in.reuters.com/article/2007/08/04/idINIndia-28811520070804 "Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney criticized Democrat Barack Obama on Friday for vowing to strike al Qaeda targets inside Pakistan if necessary as the Obama camp issued a strident defense of his plan. What had been an internecine foreign policy battle between rival Democrats Obama, an Illinois senator, and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, spilled into the Republican arena in the heavily contested state of Iowa. "I do not concur in the words of Barack Obama in a plan to enter an ally of ours... I don't think those kinds of comments help in this effort to draw more friends to our effort," Romney told reporters on the campaign trail"
