Musharraf Fareed Zakaria interview – Part 1
Musharraf replies to the question of “where did the $10B go that U.S. sent to Pakistan”.
Musharraf is expecting that question and says $5B was reimbursement for services (refueling and other such service probably). That leaves $5B. Half was for military and half for development. Says the money was a “pittance” given the high costs of operating expenses for an army that is deployed in the field.
Then compares to the money spent by U.S. in Afghanistan – $143B to give a comparison of the scale of things.
Says more than 50% of Afghanistan under Taliban control. If you succeed in Afghanistan, then you succeed in Pakistan. Says “where is the money and arms coming to Tehreek-e-Taliban – is from Afghanistan”.
