#10  A large number of PAK MIL BLOGGERS/NETTERS appear to be happy of the change, + support any effort by Islamabad to close down the US Drone staging bases, stop post-Abbottabad bilateral cooperat, + just get the US out of the country.

#9  Draw a line from Spin Boldak due East to the Indian/Pakistan border. Declare everything South of that to be Afghanistan. Deport the Pakis.

Profit!

#4  It is more than four times as expensive

It also takes money out of Pakistani hands. Money they use to feed, raise and train jihadis. Better they spend all their time scraping a living from bare mountainsides than receiving free money from Uncle Sam.

#3  It is more than four times as expensive, and also more air intensive. It's not good enough for my comfort.

Will see.

#2  I wonder why the truck route bypasses Turmenistan? They have a rail line from the Caspian to the Afghan border. Put the trailers on flatbeds and save time and money.

#1  It looks more like a logisics nightmare. The route through Pak is sure shorter than the rest of the overland routes.
