#1 Its apparen causing Islamabad to move quickly to meet + finally decide on reopening the land routes or not.

Iff Pakland does decide to reopen, IMO this may cause Iran to intensify its efforts to dominate the Arabian side of the Persian Gulf, + Iraq + Kuwait, in order to "politely" forcefully make the Gulf all but absolutely untenable as a staging area for pro-Invasion major US-NATO/Allied fleet + air + amphib units.

THE PRO-DIPLOMACY BAMMER MAY NOT WANT WAR IN THE GULF THIS SUMMER OR EARLY FALL, BUT HE MAY YET GET IT ANYWAY TO SAVE THE KSA + SMALLER GCC STATES FROM COLLAPSE, + FREE FLOW OF GULF TRADE.

True, but after all that crowing about how he personally shot Osama, who was lounging by the Motel Six pool in Abbotabad, it might be hard to sell the American people on why we should send money to these back-stabbers. Especially when the economy at home is in the dumpster.
