A logistics miracle'
To lessen its dependence on Pakistan, the U.S. military has greatly expanded its use of supply lines through Russia and Central Asia to deliver equipment and material to the war zone in Afghanistan. Those routes, known collectively as the Northern Distribution Network, are much more circuitous and expensive than the supply lines through Pakistan but are also considered more stable.

[COLOR="blue"]As I ponder the above, and reflect briefly on military logistics and the fact that this map has just been posted for international consumption in the online version of a paper noted to be deeply in bed with the military-intelligence universe, I have to wonder if this isn't:
-- incredibly stupid;
-- a pre-planned honeypot operation of grand form;
-- a massive psy-ops campaign;
-- treasonous.
