More Americans admire Gen. Wile E. Coyotes Afghan logistics plan

US Afghan supplies go as follows Thru Atlantic ocean, North Sea and Baltic to and Black sea to Riga Latvia then by rail thru Moscow Russia then Uzbekistan. Then by truck thru Kazakhstan, Tajikstan and finally Afghanistan. About 40 gallons of fuel per pound of supply. Sheer unadulterated genius.

A Logistics Miracle Is Really A Logistics Nightmare

Pak Govt periodicaly closes Nato Occupation supply line looking for more US bribes

Pakistani Military Backs Militants, Fighter Says: The US alliance with Pakistan is now in full collapse as I predicted when the US illegally assassinated bin Laden.  The brief celebrations over that dubious death have now died down and no questions are being answered, either.  A sullen silence has now fallen over the whole business as the diplomatic and military downside rises higher and higher into prominence.  The US now has to ship EVERYTHING over torturous routes to reach Afghanistan and much of this has to pass through Turkey and amazingly and funny as hell, Russia.  And Russia is quite content to have us rely on them for this service!  Our diplomatic attacks on Putin have vanished like Napoleon’s army fleeing Moscow.

.And here is what has to be the stupidest and funniest headline since ‘Hitler Wins the Battle of Stalingrad’:  ‘A logistics miracle’ – The Washington Post

.‘To lessen its dependence on Pakistan, the U.S. military has greatly expanded its use of supply lines through Russia and Central Asia to deliver equipment and material to the war zone in Afghanistan. Those routes, known collectively as the Northern Distribution Network, are much more circuitous and expensive than the supply lines through Pakistan but are also considered more stable.’

 

The US now spends around Wars’ Costs Pegged at $4 trillion; and about $20 billion a Year for Air Conditioning.  This, at a time when we are all told, we must destroy our own social security base at home because we can’t afford it.  As I predicted when Osama bin Laden was killed, the illegal secret invasion of Pakistan would have severe blow back.

NATO occupation supplies constantly attacked in Pakistan/Afghanistan
 
We see this most clearly in the collapse of diplomatic support for the US invasion of Pakistani sovereignty.  Instead of being diplomatic and careful in handling Pakistan, the US chortled about how we fooled and tricked the Pakistani military and swooped in and did a military action.  The treatment of our ally in this assassination veered on hostility.  That is, Pakistan’s political/military structure was treated as if they were our enemies and thus, became our enemies.
.
US diplomacy has, for a number of years now, been totally hijacked into a perpetual war with all Muslims with some Muslims being treated cynically as temporary allies, that is, a handful of vicious ‘royal’ despots who run terrifyingly horrible dictatorships are ‘good’ if they let the US and Israel run amok while any Muslim nation that has a revolution or uprising of the people is evil except if they overthrow a dictator we don’t like.
.
This amoral diplomatic code has been hijacked by ethnic cleansing/religious warfare poisons due to the power of religious-based PACs in DC.  We can see from the map above, how insane our wars have become as we rapidly alienate one major Muslim country after another.  Syria, for example: our official position is, we want Assad removed from power.  But Israel is already fearful of what this means when masses of Palestinians tried to peacefully cross the no man’s land border that splits their own nation and is now occupied by hostile Israeli forces who then massacred the civilians.
.
All, while the US screamed about Assad killing his own people, there were no repercussions from the Israeli murders, just more screaming about how the Muslims must respect the borders of Israel’s occupations, lands they took in battle.
.
The insanity of the present war in Afghanistan is obvious from the map: the Pentagon thinks this map shows US cleverness and heroism.  Why, we can, a tremendous expense, bring in food and fuel to our troops while not using easy routes in Pakistan!  This demented view of the gross deterioration in our status in Afghanistan is hubris and pride trying in vain to paper over a huge strategical loss.
.
As it gets harder and harder to supply our occupying forces in Afghanistan, all our other diplomatic ventures fall apart.  More and more NATO countries are pulling out their token troops.  The war is extremely unpopular in Europe and a majority of Americans now want it to end.  The talk about withdrawing a few US troops is a sign that we have lost this war but can’t admit it, yet.  The Taliban know they won yet again and they will collect yet another imperial scalp.
.
As we see from this crazy map, the Pentagon hopes to illegally fly over Pakistan, a nuclear armed country with missiles, in order to supply troops in Afghanistan.  The idea that we cannot with impunity, violate the sovereign air and sea space of a Muslim country hasn’t sunk in yet.  Also, the US has orchestrated, with Europe, anti-Russian diplomatic efforts which now collapse since we have to beg Putin for access to Russian roads and rivers and air space to go into the Afghanistan hell hole.
.
Russia is, like China, delighted to see the US continue to spiral into destruction in Afghanistan. Both are quite aware that our spending there is killing us at home and our victory there is fleeting to non-existent.  They both know the end game: defeat and retreat and then the collapse of the imperial war machine as it grinds the home base into bankruptcy.
.
As I predicted back in the beginning of the Arab Spring, Morocco would see a ‘revolution’ that would be mainly peaceful and it has happened.  The government has offered a new constitution and the power of the throne there is being inhibited and they actually had a vote on all of this which stands in contrast with Libya.  There, our war against the government rages ever hotter and the US got Turkey to offer money to the rebels in the hopes of getting some say in the oil markets there.

Pakistan Nijaat Movement demands end of Afghan military supplies thru Pak. Corrupt Pak Rulers balk.

And then there is Greece: right after the IMF and EU bailed them out and imposed big social cuts on the populace there, the government then turned around and to repay For All Their Money Troubles, Greeks Prevent Flotilla imprisoned the US captain of the ‘Audacity of Hope’ and trapped the Americans who wanted to sail to Gaza in an open prison and the Israelis have muscled this so badly, they demanded the US navy attack Americans if they did dare sail.
.
This catastrophe continues as brave people struggle to embarrass Israel into stopping Nazi-style ethnic cleansing with the recreation of the Warsaw Ghetto and the stealing of Muslim private property and the killing of unarmed Muslims held by occupying Israeli Jewish forces.  Seeing himself increasingly popular as he fights NATO, Gadhafi Threatens Europe Over NATO Ops.  NATO is an arm of Israeli occupation and the suppression of the civilian fleet wishing to sail to Palestinian waters is another example that NATO is an anti-Muslim war coalition, not a defender of Europe.
.
The US assassination squads going around the planet, killing Muslims, also has neocons wishing to kill American citizens:  Washington Okays Attack on Unarmed US Ship by Stephen Zunes — Antiwar.com.   The Jews have offered a ‘solution’ to the attempts at breaking the Gaza Warsaw Ghetto starvation restrictions imposed by the Jews: all goods have to go through Israel first.  Of course, there it all ends as the Jews then destroy these goods, don’t move them fast enough or throw them contemptuously into a heap on the border of the ghetto.  The perverted need to humiliate the Muslims at every turn is the poison destroying Jewish souls.
.
All this does is create more wars.  As Palestine goes to the UN to demand the rights of being a sovereign nation, the US snarls that Congress will defund the UN (which will then leave our Soviet-style state and move to some saner place, I assume) and even as the US screams that Sudan has to split up into smaller and smaller ethnic enclaves due to oppression, the oppression of the Palestinians grows greater and the US wastes more and more diplomatic capital, suppressing their own attempts at being declared and ethnic national enclave.
.
The demented Valkyrie of the State Department, Clinton, issues the usual threats: Instead of making threats, Libya’s Gadhafi should step down  while US support in Africa collapses as the African Union tells her in no uncertain terms: Members will not cooperate with Gadhafi warrant.  Recognizing that the International War Crimes Tribunal is a NATO hangman set up to kill or imprison anyone NATO attacks, the African nations are refusing to cooperate with this.  Meanwhile,  Clinton urges Gaddafi to deliver democracy, not threats which has got to be the most insane headline in the last 50 years.
.
The US is frantic to stop democracy from breaking out in Muslim lands.  What the US desires is Saudi-style dictatorships that keeps everyone under lock and key while the two-faced programs of the US and Israel can continue merrily sailing forwards.  Sudan seeks $1 bln in Darfur water-for-peace bid: Darfur has been used as a distraction from Israeli crimes as the Jewish media and AIPAC Congress focus on the bad things going on there instead of fixing what is wrong with Israel.
.
For years and years, the US media has carried one story after another demanding we do something for the poor people of Darfur.  This was their pet ‘people to save’ for the longest time.  This coincided with the US/Israeli push to break up larger countries into tiny enclaves that hate each other and depend on US power to keep up the fiction of being a country.  The need to distract from the Gaza Flotilla violence against unarmed civilians brings headlines like this into US news: Once again, Sudan’s the source of atrocities against civilians.
.
Yes, all those evil bad guys who are Muslims must be stopped from doing atrocities against civilians!  It is totally OK to be cruel to US citizens who are engaged in protesting ethnic cleansing in the misnamed ‘Holy Lands.’  But it is evil for Muslims to fight non-Muslims over territorial things.  While it is OK for the US to violate Muslim sovereign space to assassinate people!  This dead-brained, amoral diplomatic and military system is destroying our character as a nation as well as endangering all of us.
.
Gaddafi WILL attack Europe in the end and will do this via proxies which is what weak people do when fighting stronger people.  Terrorism, after all, is a tool which the US and Israel uses with impunity, openly bombing people from the air, shooting missiles, assassinations, etc.  So when those we are fighting in this expanding religious warfare do the same, we cannot be surprised.  All of Europe should understand, they, too, are on the front lines in this widening war and civilians in Muslim countries are being killed so European and American civilians will also be bombed.
.
Stopping this means stopping the assassinations, bombings from the air, ghettos for Muslims, suppression of democracy in Muslim countries and so on.  This is the Muslim’s Fourth of July, a violent chapter is being opened in this huge war against European and US imperial power.
.
We barely saved our own necks when we finally withdrew from Southeast Asia 40 years ago!  Antiwar demonstrators saved the US from disaster there by forcing the issue instead of cheering on the troops.  We have to cease cheering on our war machine this 4th of July.  It is destroying our democracy, destroying our economic system and endangering our lives.  It is not protecting America.
