#2 The best way to have dealt with the supply situation would have been to use the US military to "take and hold" a supply corridor from the Persian Gulf, up through Pakistan to Afghanistan. Do it through Quetta and solve two problems at once. Failing to secure supply lines is the worst kind of tactical logistics error you can make. Pakistan is NOT an "ally", but a duplicitous part of the problem. Crushing Pakistan would go a long way toward solving most of the problems in that part of South Asia, including Bangladesh.

We didn't have the assets.

Before or after dealing with Iraq, General?

#5 anytime in the future, Pappy.

But it will come from a nuke exchange with India, not at our hands, and in a total jihadi meltdown by the Paki "leadership". Just my "Magic 8-ball" prediction
