The democrats have been traditionally suspicious about the designs of the Pakistan. In the Kargil war, Bill Clinton took a decisive stand against Pakistan, which forced them to abort their mission, much to the chagrin of Musharaff, the architect of that adventure. Now, is Pakistan justified in having apprehension about the support and aid that they had been promised by the Bush administration.

Most likely not, while the democrats will not support the funding of Pakistan directly, the President has vast powers that will enable him to fund any promises he made to Pakistan. However, he is in for only two more years, and as the election shows, his party is not in favor now, so it will not be surprising to see a Democrat be elected President in two years. Right now it looks Hillery Clinton will be elected and if so you can bet Bill Clinton will be in there effecting her decisions.

It was the end of the road for Bush's policy before the election since none of his ideas (rather his yes men's ideas) were working.
But, the Pres set the policy outside the US so the Democrats are really not in the loop.

They do not set policy but they do fund it.
