$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('rwwff', 'C')an the Taliban prevent a military convoy from travelling from Kabul to the Iranian border?


They can and do. Often. Hence the need for operation medusa. Basically the bulk of all the hardware NATO has in-country was used for medusa, and all they could accomplish was to push the Taliban out of the province. And now that the weather is turning, all the gains made through that operation will be lost again.
