Nato forces in Afghanistan are bracing for possible reprisals from Pakistani-backed insurgents following the coalition air strike along the border that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.

Senior officers from the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (Isaf), were scrambling to resume contacts with their Pakistani counterparts in the hopes of setting up a joint investigation into the incident.

But Pakistani officers severed communications and Islamabad cut Isaf's two supply routes running through Pakistan.

It also gave the US two weeks to vacate the Shamsi airbase in Balochistan, which has been used to launch American drone aircraft.

1. And they should

This is madness - you can't just keep on killing people and then say you regret it. Regrets don't bring them back.
Stop the wars! Stop the bombings!

3. +1

"Smart bombs" and "precision bombing" my ass.

It's one thing when a Republicant candidate can't find the M.E. on a map, but our military is supposed to know where shit is before they start bombing.

2. I wonder what the US would do if they had killed that many here in the US?

I am guessing the reply of 'shit happens' would not be one of the options :)

4. Pakistan also cut off supplies shipped thru Pakinstan bound for Afghanistan

I guess an adult should be consulted before loosing Hellfire missiles at people. Too bad we don't have any available.

5. Unfuckingbelievable isn't it

I mean at what point do human beings other than American lives have value?
