    Pakistan's Afghan border remains closed to NATO

    ISLAMABAD (AP) — The U.S. Embassy says Pakistan's border with Afghanistan remains closed to NATO despite comments by a senior Pakistani official that seemed to indicate the coalition would be allowed to transport some food items.

    Pakistan closed the crossings to NATO at the end of November in retaliation for American airstrikes that accidentally killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.

    Defense Minister Ahmed Mukhtar said this week that Pakistan would temporarily allow NATO to ship perishable items to its troops in Afghanistan. He said the coalition could transport the supplies "by air or by truck."

    But the U.S. Embassy said on Thursday that the crossings remained closed.

    U.S. Ambassador Cameron Munter has said the air route remains open.

        Yet we still spend ten times more on Israel, and get nothing in return. Time to cut the Bandit State loose and let them sink or swim on their own.

      Pakistan harbored Bin Laden, ISI trains Taliban/Alqada, and has American blood dripping off of Pakistani Zombie fangs. I do not care if they are nuclear, I am just tired of knowing my tax dollars go to savages, lets cut them off and let them shot their little nukes at Israel. We dont have American missile defense around the place for no reason. We only need them to shot one and then all our problems in Afghanistan will go away after we take Pakistan off the map.

        Why are we supporting Israel? The have no oil and cost the American taxpayer trillions of dollars. In addition, U.S. support of Israel is the reason Islamic terrorism exists. Israel is a spoiled brat, a racist apartheid state that deliberatly attacked the USS Liberty in 1967. America only supports the Bandit State because they own our politicians. It's called AIPAC, look it up.

        Nor do Egypt and Pakistan. Only Israel does not pay for terrorism against the US. Cut off Pakistan first. Then think about the rest.

      Pakistan and Afghanistan are NOT FRIENDS OF THE US! They are friendly to the money and the aid we give them by the bushel but wouldn't miss us when we leave

        Yeah, we bomb their cities and kill their civilians, and they still hate us. They must be nuts.

        Hey they figure us for suckers. Cut off a few more American throats (remember Daniel Perl?), plan a few more 9/11's, harbor a few more terrorists and we STILL give them money and trade with them! Why shouldn't they take us to the bank?

      Cutoff that stupidly planned 2.x billion in aid. And start slowly sanctioning trade too. They are not US allies and definitely a threat to the US.

      Why is the richard in charge playing games with these losers. We have not moved anything through that crossing since nov. I think it shows we don't need it or the pakiscum. Israel has problems but they have always been on our side. After this a rab spring is over the world will need Israel.
