US suspends Kyrgyzstan-Afghanistan troop flights The US has suspended all troop flights - Polidicks

[QUOTE]The US has suspended all troop flights to Afghanistan from Kyrgyzstan, where tensions remain after a violent uprising against the president. No reason was given for the indefinite suspension of troop flights from the Manas airbase - a decision taken by the US military in Kyrgyzstan. The Manas airbase is a key transport hub for US-led operations against the Taliban in Afghanistan. Funerals are to take place later. The first funerals were held as a day of mourning for those killed was observed on Friday, with thousands of mourners gathering to lay flowers in the main square of the capital Bishkek. More than 1,500 are also believed to have been injured in the violence. Kyrgyzstan is now in the hands of an interim government led by former Foreign Minister Roza Otunbayeva. Ousted Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev said that although he still regarded himself as the legitimately elected president, with widespread support, he feared he would be killed if he returned to the capital, Bishkek. Speaking from a secret location in the southern city of Jalalabad, he told the BBC that armed opposition supporters had targeted his office during Wednesday's uprising, and were still trying to track him down[/QUOTE] And the day begins.

And so we wait. Funny thing is, I was discussing this with my father (Retired Army dood), and he basically told me that "if we lost that airbase/they decide they don't want to work with the US, we're pretty fucked in regards of transporting supplies to soldiers in the Middle East."

Jalalalabad? Seriously?

They were running out of syllables.
