Kyrgyzstan is closed

Not really a surprise that Kyrgyzstan's MP's voted 78-1 to agree with their near-dictator, but the end result is that Kyrgyzstan's Manas air base is closed (in 180 days) as a US supply channel and staging area into Afghanistan. (BBC article, too.)

    Now Russia will gain even more control over that northern supply/entry point. They'll find somewhere else to put it.
