How close is the US getting to Bakiev?

Here's an interesting development"

Yesterday Kyrgyz Prime Minister Igor Chudinov announced that the US plans to provide $21 million for an anti-terrorism center in the country.

The Manas airbase is no longer in danger of being shut down, much to the chagrin of the Russian, who had offered large loans and other incentives to Kyrgyzstan.

Will the center be used to work against terrorism and drug trafficking in the region? Or be largely symbolic?
