Long War Journal - Taliban sever NATO supply line through Pakistan's northwest
While I don't have a hard count of all the access ports the US & NATO are using to get into Afghanistan - it seems pretty clear that the few we have are tenuous.

AP - NATO says members may use Iran for Afghan supplies
NATO would not oppose individual member nations making deals with Iran to supply their forces in Afghanistan as an alternative to using increasingly risky routes from Pakistan, the alliance's top military commander said Monday.
We are now willing to play with Iran in order to get supplies into Afghanistan. I'm not savvy enough to know if that is as big a leap for NATO as it would be for us, but I'm thinking if NATO is making public noises about dealing with Iran - that's not a good sign.
