1. This makes it easier to attack targets in Pakistan

without the airbase and with another route for supplies there is no need now.to pay attention to Pakistan's concerns. I bet that within a couple of months we will be reading about US special forces operating on the ground in Pakistan.

Remember where Bin Laden was killed?

3. yeah, fuck Pakistan, who needs them

We allow our government to wage war in a way that guarantees the death of innocent persons as collateral damage so that we can just maybe reduce the chance of a terrorist attack killing some of us. Those who sell their souls for the sake of national security are seen as tough, but the truth is that security is the highest value of the coward.
