First, our objectives don't require that kind of effort. Second, our main problem is in Pakistan where al Qaeda and the Taliban have a sanctuary. And third, our supply lines are too tenuous to risk many more troops than we have there now.
Our supply line through Pakistan is at risk with unrest in Pakistan, which could see a coup in response to instability in the civilian government.
But don't worry, our alternate supply line runs through Russia:
Moscow does not plan to suspend NATO's use of Russian land routes to transit non-military supplies and equipment to the alliance's troops in Afghanistan, Russia's NATO envoy said Tuesday.
We can trust those lying sacks of paranoid and cruel excrement not to interfere with our forces in Afghanistan, right?
Aren't you glad we don't have 140,000 troops in Afghansitan right now?
