Nov. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's vow to review aid to Pakistan after President Pervez Musharraf declared emergency rule puts the U.S. in the position of threatening an ally President George W. Bush relies on to help combat al-Qaeda and a resurgent Taliban.
Bush ``is in a tight spot now about how to respond,'' said Craig Cohen, a Pakistan expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. ``We'll talk tough, but it will take a lot for the U.S. administration to hang Musharraf out to dry or cut military aid.''
