[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1898311, member: 239"] Since the main supply lines for our troops in Afghanistan goes by land and air right thru Pakistan and those supply lines would be cutoff if we did as many in this thread advocate the result would be that our troops in Afghanistan would be cutoff from supply. Looking at a map of the region quickly reveals that bordering nations that could be used as alternate routes would tell us to pack sand. Short ot going to war with Pakistan to keep the routes open the proposed action would pretty much doom our troops in Afghanistan. It takes supplies to fight a war. Cut 'em off and no war. Cut 'em off when troops are in battle and no troops. I believe Napoleon said something to the effect that strategy and tactics wins battles. Logistics wins wars. The proposal as stated in the quote is a perfect example of thinking with one's balls instead of one's brain. It's an understandable initial emotional response that needs to be worked thru until the energy wears off and the brain can take back control. [/QUOTE]
