From a military stand point, this was a really great move on the part of the Taliban. The fact that there was so little security is a really stupid move on the part of the Pakistani and NATO military. Who failed?
Lets just abandon the Pakistanis for a while. Take their nukes on the way out of the country so that the fanatics can't get them, so that India and Israel don't have to nuke the country flat. Pakistan is about to fail and nothing the West can do will help, because the barbarians are insisting that it is only the West allowing the non-fanatics to stay alive. We need to allow them to stand on their own feet! If they fail, we can then kill all the survivors.

Militants blasted their way into two transport terminals in Pakistan on Sunday and torched more than 160 vehicles destined for U.S.-led troops in Afghanistan, in the biggest assault yet on a vital military supply line, officials said.The U.S. military said its losses in the raid near the northwestern city of Peshawar would have only a "minimal" impact on its operations against resurgent Taliban-led militants in Afghanistan.
However, the attack's boldness will fuel concern that Taliban militants are tightening their hold around Peshawar and could choke the supply route through the famed Khyber Pass.
Up to 75 percent of supplies for Western forces in landlocked Afghanistan pass through Pakistan after being unloaded from ships at the Arabian sea port of Karachi. NATO is already seeking an alternative route through Central Asia.
The attack at the Portward Logistic Terminal reduced a section of the vast walled compound to a smoldering junkyard.
