I've been watching with deep anxiety the news regarding the NATO airstrike on the Pakistani checkpoint last week. What is even more disturbing is the demand for the US to exit Shamsi Airbase within 15 days. Sometime ago I recall that China indicated that an attack on Pakistan would be considered and act of war with China and Afghanistan has said that they will side with Pakistan against the US. The latest from Fox News indicates that the checkpoint fired on NATO forces first.

What is most distressing is that our troops method of resupply is being removed and essentially they will be stranded in Afghanistan. Added to this Pakistan is going to sign an agreement with Iran to construct an oil pipeline between their two countries. I feel deep in my bones that this won't end well.
