Pakistan Afghan NATO Taliban Joy

Pakistan Afghan NATO Taliban Joy

In this Friday, July 6, 2012 photo, Pakistani driver, Ihsanullah, 45, speaks on his mobile phone on top of a truck carrying NATO Humvees at a terminal in the Pakistani-Afghan border, in Chaman, Pakistan. As the United States trumpets its success in persuading Pakistan to end its seven-month blockade of supplies for NATO troops in Afghanistan, another group privately cheers its good fortune: the Taliban. One of the Afghan war’s great ironies is that both NATO and the Taliban rely on the convoys to fuel their operations a recipe for seemingly endless conflict. (AP Photo/Matiullah Achakzai)
