Bottom line.  The shit has hit the fan in Pakistan.  You have two dozen dead Pakistani troops and the overland supply roads to NATO forces in Afghanistan are cut off.

Add in Almazbek Atambayev, Kyrzgyzstan's new president-elect, in virtually his first act since being elected, has told the US it will have to give up its airbase in Central Asia by 2014.  The action seriously impacts the ability of the United States to supply the war in Afghanistan.

See our article on Kyrzgyzstan  THE FEDERALIST - "Democracy is a Bitch."

The Americans have brought on much of this reaction themselves.  For years the brainless talking heads in the media and many politicians have publically insulted and pissed all over Pakistan on live TV.  One moronic attack after another has been lodged against an important friend with never a thought about the massive problems Pakistan faces every day in order to stand at the side of America.

This is not just rude.  It is arrogant.

Braindead Americans have attacked Pakistan for not sealing a very long and very difficult border.  Never mind that border of the United States itself is far from "sealed" with millions of illegals and drug lords simply walking into our nation at will.  Americans hold Pakistan to a standard that they themselves cannot match.

The question is will the supply lines to Afghanistan reopen?  Perhaps this will act as a lesson for all Americans to be less arrogant and more grateful to our friends and allies.


Pakistan holds funerals for troops killed by NATO raid

Nearly 300 trucks carrying supplies to U.S.-led troops in Afghanistan clogged the Pakistani border crossings Sunday, leaving them vulnerable to militant attack a day after Islamabad closed the frontier in retaliation for coalition airstrikes that allegedly killed 24 Pakistani troops.

As Pakistan army chief General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani attended the funerals of the victims, including a major, the U.S. sought to minimize the fallout from the crisis, which plunged Washington's already troubled relationship with Islamabad to an all-time low.

Pakistan also ordered the U.S. to vacate an airbase that is used by American drones to target al-Qaida and Taliban militants in the country's tribal region along the Afghan border.


Nearly 300 trucks carrying coalition supplies are now backed up at Torkham in the northwest Khyber tribal area and Chaman in southwestern Baluchistan province. Last year, Pakistan only closed Torkham.
