Check this. sunday-times.co.uk I was under the impression, admittedly not based on close study, that the NA was going to be the main recipient of US aid and therefore expected to be the organization that would eventually prevail in Afghanistan. On reflection and closer study, it appears such a view is wrong. Still, the broader question is worth considering. Who does the US support in Afghanistan? If not the NA, who? Which group is not an anathema to Pakistan? I think managing the US-Pakistan relationship is an extremely difficult, yet vitally important, enterprise. I don't know how the US is going to tailor its responses in a way that keeps Pakistan happy. And it will have to do so. Part of the payback for Pakistani support has to be the installation of an Afghan government that is vetted by Pakistan. Interesting problem for the diplomats.
