#2 The economic slowdown has seriously impaired the business of UPS, FedEx, DHL etc. There might be a fringe benefit - lots of excess capacity in the air cargo fleet for diverting to an A'stan airlift if need be.

#4 How does losing more than two hundred trucks on your primary logistics conduit *not* materially affect your posture? Even by US Army logistical standards, that's a pretty fucking significant loss of carrying capacity. Unless I completely misunderstand the situation, a half-dozen successful raids means that the Kyber Pass route is *closed* until further notice, right?

India is wondering what to do, the supply chain into Afghanistan is being cut, and the President's term of office is concluding, so they figure that nothing will happen till after 20 Jan 2009, and the odds after that is that nothing will happen then. Opportunity knocks.

#7 Probably lost more vehicles in Pakistan this past week than in the past two years in Afghanistan. And Uncle Obama's "Big Idea" is an Afghan surge, presenting even more undefended targets for Paki primitives to shoot and burn? Or was it a Paki invasion? I forget
