K, With respect to the overflight rights to supply, multiple routes become possible. I'm thinking it's possible we might be able to obtain supply flight rights via Turkey if Pakistan became too unstable to continue it's support in terms of overflight. I'm also thinking that the other 'stans in the area are reluctant to allow military efforts originating from their existing fields. Given the cost to build vs 'buy', I'm just suggesting we ought to go ahead and build. There are internal issues in all of the surrounding countries that make it difficult for any of them to overtly support military action. Having a base inside the Afghanistan would provide a center of action that depended less on the goodwill of any one particular political regime.
