Kyrgyiztans' parliament closes US base when you in Pakistan?

 kyrgyzstanís parliament voted on Thursday to close the only US air base in Central Asia, removing one of the US militaryís supply routes into Afghanistan as it prepares to send more troops.
 The United States also faced reluctance from its NATO allies to provide more soldiers to complement the extra 17,000 troops it is sending to Afghanistan to tackle the Taliban insurgency. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, attending a NATO meeting in Poland, said Washington wanted its allies to send more troops to provide security for a presidential election in Afghanistan in August but acknowledged big increases were unlikely. Kyrgyzstanís decision to close the US air base undermined its plans to diversify supply routes into Afghanistan after supply convoys were attacked by militants in Pakistan. Kyrgyzstanís parliament backed a decision by President Kurmanbek Bakiyev, announced in Moscow after he secured a $2 billion package of aid and credit from Russia to close the Manas air base. Bakiyev has accused Washington of refusing to pay a higher rent for using the base. Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Kadyrbek Sarbayev said Washington would be given 180 days to wrap up operations after the parliamentary decision was signed into law. ìWe are prepared to look at the fees and see if there is justification for a somewhat larger payment,î Gates told reporters in the Polish city of Krakow. ìBut we are not going to be ridiculous about it. We are prepared to do something we think is reasonable. It is an important base, but it is not so important that we are going to waste taxpayer dollars paying something that is exorbitant.

The United States and its allies fly troops and supplies from bases in Europe and the Gulf and could increase this traffic to make up for the loss of Manas air base. ìWe have full stock piles. It is an inconvenience for allies and one to regret, but we can certainly absorb it,î NATO spokesman James Appathurai said. The closure underlined the challenges Washington faces in enlisting Russian support for its campaign in Afghanistan.

Will we be lucky enough to  realize our dreams of free Pakistan, free from injustices, free from western interests, free in decisions, and free from powerfuls' chains.?
