President Bush has already proposed giving Pakistan $785 million (£400 million) next year, including $300 million for its military. This threat comes after four months of rising US exasperation, since Musharraf struck controversial deals with some of the tribal leaders on the Pakistani side of the border. If they halted the transit of “foreign fighters” (al-Qaeda and Afghan Taleban) then Musharraf would withdraw Pakistan’s army from their territory. US and British officials agree that this hasn’t worked.
