How the fuck ...

Are you supposed to 'win'* a war if you can't get fuel for your vehicles to the battlefield?

Gunmen in Pakistan have torched at least 10 oil tankers carrying fuel for Nato vehicles in Afghanistan in the latest such attack in recent days.

A driver died in the ambush near the south-western city of Quetta.

The number of attacks on tankers has soared in the last week since one of the main routes into Afghanistan was shut by the Pakistani authorities.

Don't mean a shit how many troops you have on the ground. If you can't resuppply 'em easily, you might as well bring 'em home. This is what killed the Russians over there and it will be our downfall as well.

*The definition of the U.S. "winning" a war has changed dramatically since World War 2.

Thanks to Chris for the link.
