Af-Pac War

FYI: The US and NATO is currently at war with Pakistan. The US killed three Pakistani troops a few days ago. Pakistani militants responded by torching 27 NATO tanker trucks. Today the US killed 18 militants in retaliation.

From the link: The New York Times reported Friday that a senior Pakistani intelligence official had said the border incursions could lead to a “total snapping of relations” between Islamabad and Washington. At the same time, there were reports of attempts to settle the dispute by establishing a joint investigation into the US strikes.

It is estimated that 80 percent of supplies to US, NATO and allied occupation forces in Afghanistan, including 50 percent of fuel, passes through Pakistan. Which, is what one would call a bottle neck in logistics.

Funny - I don't see people marching the streets to stop the CIA's not-so-secret war. I don't see hearings in front of Congress on C-SPAN 8. I don't hear a peep?...
Sorry guys, The Forever War will last Forever.
