NATO's Looking Like the Warsaw Pact

The Taliban briefly cut off a supply line to Afghanistan - NATO's one and only route into the land-locked country. The Taliban crazies stole 15 trucks and forced a shutdown of traffic. It was reopened today with fanfare.

The supply line runs through the ports of Karachi, up the Khyber Pass, into Afghanistan. If this supply line is lost, the war in Afghanistan will be lost. More than a dozen thousand NATO troops will be stranded.
