When will the next 'NATO' airstrike occur? This is an election year in the US after all.

Hopefully soon, those Pakistani "border patrols" are part of the problem.

I'm not sure which border patrols you speak of, but a few B-1s, B-52s could smoke some of them out. Remember bomb realease is 5-9 miles from the target.

Those supply lines through the territory of an ally of the Taliban obviously are a weakness in Western battle order. It should be adressed by deleting that dependency, to eliminate the resulting vulnerability. Deleting an identified own vulnerability, is just logical. Allowing to depend on the good will and cooperation of an enemy (which Pakistan is), is foolish.

Will not happen, I know. Nevertheless - if one were serious about the war that is what should be done. - If one were serious about the war.

Right you are. But I wonder, would that stop Taliban from just moving to the next country and operating from there. :hmmm:

I was referring that the Al Qaeda and Taleban forces are camping next to Pakistani "border guards".
They probably help them strike at coalition forces or even participate in the strikes.

Some carpet bombing and gunship patrols would add nicely to the drone attacks.:salute:

My understanding is that the logistics come through Russia. Uzbekistan/Tajikistan. Which is why NATO was so calm about Russia's conflict in Russian Georgia.

Taliban is Pashtun movement mostly and Pashtus have the most tribal culture in the planet. It is very much tied to the area they live in so Taliban as such can not change countries like Al Qaeda.

He is talking about Taleban and Al Qaeda supply routes.

Ah, didn't know that. Thanks for clarifying. :salute:

Guess I then switch the word "Taliban" to just "Terrorists". :O:
