#4 As for the NATO trucks, vee IRAQ the Islamists are prob trying to indir induce effective mil confrontation wid the presntly less potent,less competent PAKI ARMY forces while limiting US-NATO to key cities = urban areas. The US, etc. will have to temporarily rely on AIRPOWER FOR LIFT, RECCE [UV's] AND CLOSE SUPPORT, TO WHICH THE MILITANTS HAVE PLENTY OF MAN-PORTABLE SAMS + RPGS???

IOW, PAKI = POST-MUMBAI INDIA > MILITANTS MAY ATTEMPT TO SPREAD WAR/JIHAD AS FOR CONTROL OF THE COUNTRYSIDE = AREAS OUTSIDE OF MAIN CITIES-TOWNS??? ALso, as per the US FINANCIAL CRISIS + CONTROVERSIAL BAILOUT OF DETROIT "BIG 3" [read - new US Military AFVS/IFVS production = new USGovt $$$ hyper-deficit spending of scarce monies it doesn't have]???
