Bush Says U.S. Backs NATO Force in Darfur to Provide Security
President George W. Bush said the U.S. supports a North Atlantic Treaty Organization peacekeeping mission to provide security for refugees displaced in the violence-stricken Darfur region of Sudan.

NATO can take a role once the African Union requests its security force be converted to a United Nation's mission, Bush said at the White House after meeting with NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer.

Once that's done, he said, ``NATO can move in with United States help within -- inside of NATO -- to make it clear to the Sudanese government that we're intent upon providing security for the people there, and intent upon helping work toward a lasting peace agreement.''
