description

 The US brokered a deal with Musharraf (President of Pakistan ) over the war on terror. In exchange for military support, the US would lift sanctions on Pakistan.  The US was allowed usage of 3 air bases in Pakistan. In return, the US supported Musharraf, granted $10 billion in financial aid (from 2001-present), and made Pakistan a major non-NATO ally.  Then-President Musharraf resigned due to potential impeachment charges, and was succeeded by the more democratic Asif Ali Zardari, after his wife, Benazir Bhutto, was assassinated mid-campaign.  President Barack Obama supports the new Pakistani government and has expanded military aid to Pakistan.
