United States has set exacting conditions on military aid that country to ensure the assitance is focused on the war on terror and not diverted for a confrontation against India.

Unlike neo con conservative Republican Bush, Obama Adminsitration tells Pakistan not to use American aid money against India.

The US move came in amendments attached to the Defence Authorisation Bill of 2010, amid continuing anger and dismay in Islamabad over the so-called Kerry-Lugar Bill.

"This provision simply ensures that the American peoples'' tax dollars are being used for their intended purpose," Senator Bob Corker, Republican from Tennessee and co-author of the measure along with Democrat Robert Menendez of New Jersey, said. "That fight (against terrorism) is important to our own national security, and we have to ensure that our support for it is not being squandered or diverted,'''' Menendez added. Neither mentioned India directly.
