US troops' supply route through Pakistan reopens
2009-01-02
A Pakistani official says the main supply route for U.S. and NATO troops fighting in Afghanistan has been reopened. Operations against militants in the area are ongoing.

The Khyber Pass in northwest Pakistan was closed Tuesday to allow troops to target militants blamed for attacking convoys carrying equipment to Western forces in neighboring Afghanistan. Khyber administration head Tariq Hayat Khan says the road reopened Friday for all traffic but military operations were continuing "on its outskirts."

#4  given the duplicitous lameness with which the Paks have sucked down resources while doing the absolute minimum possible, our pursuit of alternate routing may have made them realize: they just aren't all that, are they? If they won't prosecute the WOT in earnest, won't internally control their wholey-owned subsidiary terrs who prey on the supply route, foment a nuke war with a nation we have good relations with, and then, bottom line, they're just no use to us any more, and become a target. Pakis may have woken up to the fact that they don't really hold all the cards, eh?
