Nato Signs Afghan Exit Route Deals

[Tolo News] NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants...
has signed a deal with Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan to remove evacuating vehicles and military equipment from Afghanistan.

The agreement will allow the military alliance to bypass Pakistain, which had blocked its supply routes from NATO entering Afghanistan after 24 Pak soldiers were killed last year in a NATO Arclight airstrike.

"We reached an agreement on reverse transit from Afghanistan with three Central Asian partners: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan,"
the NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said at a presser Monday.

"These agreements will give us a range of new options and the robust and flexible transport network we need," he said.

The NATO will begin troops withdrawal and equipment from Afghanistan later this year.

...back at the shattered spaceship, Fffflirgoll the Arcturan slithered stealthily toward the control room, where the humans had barricaded themselves...

This deal means it can return equipment to Europe overland via Russia.

#1  Short of de facto Romney-led electoral defeat this coming November, everything right now is holding steady + good, NOT necessarily great, for the Bammer + Re-election Campaign going into Summer 2012.

Iff thingys or trends hold, the only Probs I can see to screw up the Bammer this Summer + November
is ...

* US BUDGET COLLAPSE ANDOR NEW US, GLOBAL RECESSION OR DEPRESSION.

* FAILURE OF IRAN NUCLEAR TALKS, i.e. as per the Maxima, Minima limits of uranium enrichment by Iran for purposes of NucEnergy only.

* UN, US-LED MIL INTERVENTION IN ASSADIAN SYRIA, as Iran desires to protect both its Ally + its strategic access to the Med widout need of Suez Canal [KSA side].

IRAN FEAR OF KSA SIDE OF SUEZ CANAL + RED SEA CHANNEL = SHIA IRAN DOESN'T FORESEE ANY IMMEDIATE OR NEAR-TERM TO ITS REGIONAL, OWG CALIPHATE RIVALRY WID HOUSE OF SAUD = SUNNI ISLAM???

* PAK GOVT. COLLAPSE, as a consequence of severe US $$$ cutback due to failure in US/NATO-PAK negotiations to reopen the closed NATO Supply Routes, leading to possible Indo-Pak War = ultimately devols into Indo-China War???

* CHINA SHOOTING AT SOMEBODY(S) IN EAST ASIA.
