Afghan Campaign could be getting harder to maintain.

There are some troubling developments in the Afghan campaign, the loss of Musharef being one thing. Pakistan is now much less willing to overlook US violations of it's sovereign territories. The US has violated Pakistani territory in several cross border raids in recent times. There doesn't seem to be any outcry from the West and NATO about these aggressions against a sovereign nation. But now Pakistan is now taking action to express its disapproval. Pakistan is cutting NATO supply lines. That will make operations more difficult and require long lines through unfriendly territory.

The Khyber pass was on and off controlled by Taliban anyway but was still a cheif supply route for the British in Afghanistan. It's been a lot of work keeping it open but now it seems that Pakistan will no longer cooperate so those areas will need new routes.

Russia is also making some noises about supply routes that run through Russia to afghanistan. Russia says they won't close those routes but that's more like a reminder that they could. OTOH, the Russians are quite happy to have NATO spend it's blood and treasure on fighting the Taliban rather than having to do it itself, but

And this is an aside

The Afghanistan Human Rights Organisation (AHRO) said on Tuesday that, according to their own investigations, civilians are killed in most operations conducted by US forces.

AHRO expressed strong concern about the death of innocent Afghans during military operations and urged those responsible for the killings to face trial.

"According to our investigations, 98% of civilian casualties caused by the coalition forces in Afghanistan are intentional," the head of the AHRO, Lal Gul, said.

The Pakistanis seem royally pissed off about the US incursions and reserve the right to retaliate.

Of course, they're probably referring to the cutting of supply lines noted before which seem to largely include NATO forces overland oil supplies.

I suppose we should be expecting a coup in Pakistan?
