| #10 Sir Charles Napier is the example we should be looking to. He accomplished quite a bit, though apparently not everything needed. |

| #9 Supplying through Pakistan is untenable in the medium to long term. Afghanistan is a cesspool. Nice people, when they don't want to kill you or their islam infection is not active (redundant, I know), but they are several generations away from the modern world. I am not interested in spending blood or treasure to secure either Afghanistan or the Pak tribal belt. It will take years and years and cost the lives of thousands of our troops. I say we leave, but make it clear upon doing so that should harm come our way from here, death will come to visit them. |

| #8 Shouldn't we have some guys with guns riding along on a caravan like that? Contractors or SOMETHING? Are we even allowed to defend the stuff while in Wakiland? |

| #7 eventually the rogue elements will get their jands on the nukes in pakiland anyway , what do you think will happen then? Or are you saying we should continue too let pakistan just do whatever the hell they want too like shoot at our troops who may enter their land, which they have know prblem letting the taliban cross over back and forth too attack NATO forces |

| #4 we should have told India that in the first place. I'm sure we could devise a way too get our guys in afghanistan supplies other than pakistan |

| #3 Get used to it. They'll just start putting them in warehouses in residential areas and breaking them up for continued transshipment. We're going to see more of this as Pakistan deteriorates even further. The position of the troops in Afghanistan will become precarious. We should declare victory and bring them home now, tell the Afghans if we have to come back they all die, tell the Pakis they've replaced the Norks on the terror sponsor list, and tell the Indians Pakistan is a free fire zone as far as we are concerned. |
