#3 Strategypage has a good article on this: The big payday
Pakistan is willing to reopen its Afghan border to NATO truck traffic if a large ($1,000-1,500 per truck) bribe is paid. Apparently the size of the bribe is calculated to be a bit below the additional cost of moving in goods via Central Asian railroads. As NATO forces depart Afghanistan in 2014, Pakistan does not want to miss out on a one-time opportunity to make some money from the heavy traffic generated by NATO forces shipping their equipment home. Pakistani officials see this as a big payday for themselves.

#4 At last check, the US is still refusing to end CIA-led Drone Strikes inside Pakland, but is mulling Islmabad's request for a formal apology -the US has admitted that "LIMITED" DRONE STRIKES inside Pakistan have been highly successful + effective.
OOOOOOOOO, THE PCORRECTNESS IS JUST EVERWHERE.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
