Credit: Reuters/Jim Young By Andrew Quinn and David Alexander WASHINGTON | Fri Oct 22, 2010 9:00pm EDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States announced $2 billion in military aid for Pakistan on Friday as the two countries sought to dispel doubts about Islamabad's commitment to uprooting Islamist insurgents from safe havens on its soil. "The United States has no stronger partner when it comes to counterterrorism efforts against the extremists who threaten us both than Pakistan," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in announcing plans to ask Congress for a five-year aid package. The military aid, which would help put Pakistan's war planning on a more stable footing, would complement a $7.5 billion multiyear package of civilian assistance already cleared by U.S. lawmakers. Clinton said the administration would also ask for $27 million to fund military education and training in Pakistan, one of the largest recipients of U.S. foreign military aid after Israel and Egypt. The aid package, announced at the third round of the U.S.-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue, was a top issue for Pakistanis attending the three-day session. It helped balance the fact President Barack Obama plans to bypass Islamabad next month when he travels to rival India. Although Obama has promised to visit Pakistan in 2011, the move could be seen as a slight. "(Pakistanis) are very aware that the president is going to India next month and they want to demonstrate to their people that there is a strong U.S.-Pakistani connection," said Stephanie Sanok, a fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Michael O'Hanlon, an analyst at the Brookings Institution think tank, said the package represented "reasonable, solid, positive incremental progress, but nothing game-changing." "We have no assurance yet that we're headed for an acceptable outcome here and I would have gone for more of a game-changer," O'Hanlon said, like proposing a nuclear cooperation deal similar to the one the United States has with India. The strategic dialogue came as Washington and Islamabad work to ease strained relations caused by U.S. pressure for Pakistan to move more aggressively against insurgent safe havens, and a cross-border incursion that killed two Pakistani border guards. Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi rejected critics who argue that Islamabad's heart is not in the fight against the militants, some of whom are believed to have shadowy ties with Pakistani intelligence services. DOOMSDAY SCENARIOS 'DEAD WRONG' "Prophets of doom are back in business, painting doomsday scenarios about our alliance," he said. "They are dead wrong." State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said a "relatively small number" of Pakistani military units would not receive assistance because of human rights concerns. He indicated the units had been excluded for some time under restrictions imposed by Congress but declined to say when Pakistan was informed. 1 2 Next World Elections 2010 Politics Earnings Comments See All Comments (1) | Post Comment Oct 22, 2010 10:18pm EDT why not pour a couple of billion into our economy and forget about pakistan!!! enough already, pjgatorjg Report As Abusive See All Comments (1) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
