Afghan Supply Line Still Viable
As the U.S. military works to improve security along a supply line that passes through Pakistan en route to Afghanistan, the pathway continues to be a viable means of logistics, a Pentagon official said today.Taliban militants reportedly have torched about 300 trucks laden with supplies, including military vehicles, in five attacks last week alone. But roughly 150 truckloads of supplies continue to traverse the route each day, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said today. Is that 300 lost out of 1050 or 1350? Either way, it's an expensive loss rate. Posted by: Nimble Spemble 2008-12-21 |
