unhappycamper note: Since the ‘Pentagon’ (DoD? Gannett?) has ‘requested’ that I only post one paragraph from articles on Army Times, and Airforce Times, To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for for articles on Navy Times, Marine Corps Times, stripes.com and military.com.
To read the article in the military's own words, you will need to click the link.

Read all about Fair Use here. It sure is beginning to smell like fascism.

unhappycamper summary of this article: Should Pakistan cut off the 'non-lethal' supply route, the cost of this occupation will skyrocket.

We'll have to tanker in every gallon of gas we use to fuel our jets, drones, helicopters, AWACS aircraft and airborne tankers. Ca ching.....

ISLAMABAD — Still angry over the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden, Pakistani lawmakers demanded an end to American missile strikes against Islamist militants on their soil Saturday, and warned that Pakistan may cut NATO’s supply line to Afghanistan if the attacks don’t stop.

1. Good for them! Our legislators and presidents refuse to end the wars.

2. One response might be to suggest that all foreign aid might be cut.

Yet another response could be to remove all troops from Afghanistan, Pakistan, any other countries with an 'istan' suffix, and Iraq and bring them all home.

I like the second one.

3. Let's cut the military aid AND get the hell out.

5. Option 3 IS better. nt

4. But pro-nukes said that's impossible!

They've told me countless times that nuclear deterrence is infallible!
NATO has nukes, so Pakistan will NEVER threaten them!
They also said the US would NEVER invade Pakistan, because Pakistan has nukes - but the US did invade Pakistan to get bin Laden!
Hmm - seems like nuclear deterrence isn't working.

6. Treat them like North Korea

The other crazy treacherous country with nukes

7. I hope they do.

Good pretext for getting the hell out of Afghanistan.
