Geewiz, this is exactly what I was afraid of. We (NATO) have been using Pakistan as a storage site of military supplies. This is a serious issue for going forward.

Well, then cut off the aid of billions we give them and let them go it alone.

Supply lines would be an inconvenience but won't be a big problem. Because of previous Taliban attacks on supply lines in Pakistan, most supply lines now run thru Russia and former Soviet republics.

What Pakistan needs is Aid over Apology or Dollars over Dialogue, and NATO will enjoy like Visa-Free traveller !

While the supplies are all backed up, expect some attack on them within Pakistan. More dead drivers and security guards, more insurance payments for burned-out trucks, and more heavy smoke pollution going up into the planet's skies. Still, I don't expect anyone will have thought of this, so no point setting an ambush.

Pakistan must sooner or later DECIDE if it really wants to protect the Taliban, Al Qaeda etc..or try to move on into the 21st Century and say no to terrorism, no to the Taliban and to all of these backwards thinking dooms day cults.

Another broken logic here, unreconstructed. Did Obama caused this? Who took us into Afganistan? Please explain with facts.

America should drop Pakistan as a "friend" and start treating them like a foe. The world picks on Iran and North Korea for devolving nukes but these chappies have them and the means to deliver them. They hid the #1 foe of America for 10 years and most of the explosive, etc comes from Pakistan to Afghanistan. Clue Americans, find a new route for your supplies.

Yuri nice idea but I think first better to try this way you know the carrot and stick approach?? If Pakistan be good they get some $$ If they be bad then they get missiles up side the head to try and let them gently understand that they can no longer support alqaeda nor the Taliban etc.. Right??
