If he won't fix the human rights problems in his country with the human rights rules for our money in place, the ones that threaten to take the money away from him, what incentive will he have to improve after we give him a waiver on national security grounds?
He knows he has something we want, (military uses and nuke collections (And I wouldn't rule out oil securing, but that's minor)) and now he knows we want it enough not to care about how he runs his country.
Bush doesn't care. He waived the rules. He didn't give him an extension, he waived the rules.
