The announced goal of U.S. policy is to "disrupt, dismantle, and defeat" Al Qaeda in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. The policy suggests that Al Qaeda will no longer find a safe haven across the border in Pakistan. Economic and military aid to Pakistan is to be contingent upon that country's commitment to its own security and its willingness to "confront violent extremists." Afghanistan will offer a test of the U.S. military's concept of asymmetrical (counterinsurgency) warfare.
