Stuck in Afghanistan, Pentagon crawls before Pak Army
Washington: The powerful Pentagon has been crawling before the Pakistan Army in its effort to reopen a crucial supply route, considered to be the lifeline of its thousands of troops in Afghanistan, which Islamabad had blocked last week following deaths of its three soldiers.
The top Pentagon leadership have either tendered an apology or regretted over the incident following which Pakistan closed the Torkham gate.
In fact, it is one of the rare instances of such apology and regret coming from a series of top US officials.
This is because a large part of US supply for its thousands of troops in land locked Afghanistan is routed through Pakistan.
The Pentagon says 50 per cent of its supply to Afghanistan goes through Pakistan and the rest through the alternative routes in the North that it has developed over the past few years.
