[Tommy Franks] apparently already realized that he would need Pakistani help in blocking the al Qaeda exit from Tora Bora. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld told a National Security Council meeting that Franks "wants the [Pakistanis] to close the transit points between Afghanistan and Pakistan to seal what's going in and out," according to the National Security Council meeting transcript in Bob Woodward's book "[George W. Bush] at War. A deputy to Franks, Lt. Gen. Mike DeLong, later claimed that [Pervez Musharraf] had refused Franks's request for regular Pakistani troops to be repositioned from the north to the border near the Tora Bora area.
