[Afghanistan]-Mattis is out, and Blackwater is back: ‘We are coming’

[Pan-Islamic-Pakistan]

Only liberal minded Muslims consider Imran Khan an 'Islamic Leader'. The Conservatives see him for the Westernized Liberal that he is. Let me assure you that what we have today in Pakistan is a complete mockery of Islam. This creates a fertile ground for the likes of Blackwater to appeal to rightest sensitivities through appropriate attractors. The presence of TTP is only one manifestation of the underlying conservative displeasure with the status quo.

Thankfully, although the right wing is angry, it isn't stupid. It has seen what happened in Iraq and Syria. Even the Taliban are against ISIS. But then, Blackwater is creative. It will be looking for any way through which it can split Pakistan apart at the seams. There is Baloch nationalism. Sindhi nationalism. PTM. They will stop at nothing. And along with that, you will have pressures from IMF and FATF. And we already know that Nawaz Sharif is ready to destroy the country for personal gains.

Yes brother, but the TLP cadres do not have a monopoly on Islamic thought.

I commented on that specific statement as it sounds just like Maulana Maududi and Dr. Israr Ahmad’s Islamic Renaissance. Both of whom Imran Khan is a fan of.

I don’t consider myself a liberal Muslim at all, actually I am tied to several Deobandi and Sufi organizations.

People assume I am a Liberal Muslim I am not as well I just happen to be a little more pragmatic Imran Khan is not a Liberal I think he is pragmatic

Will talk to a retired BW guy I know and get back to you later. This is something of a game changer for the strategy now.

It was something that we (@Joe Shearer & I) briefly touched upon about two years back. The spin offs are great, but only with exhaustive and intrusive oversight, else, it shall merely replace one organization inimical to interests of governments at present in name of religion, with another, which may be just as inimical in the name of business.

I do and hence the awareness. I was praying for you as you went missing earlier. :X

I shall be 'missing' for next month or so after today

It's not a new concept either. Learned from their elder brothers across the pond.

Will be a bumpy ride ...

Cheers, Doc

Eagerly waiting for your insight as always.

Blackwater signals it may get back in business as Trump mulls Afghanistan troop drawdown
by Joe Williams
| December 21, 2018 05:25 PM

A controversial U.S. private security firm signaled Friday it is slated to return to business, spurring questions of whether President Trump will seek to privatize the ongoing war in Afghanistan.

Blackwater took out a full-page ad in the latest edition of Recoil magazine with the message: “We are coming," the Military Times reported on Friday. The ad comes a day after Defense Secretary Jim Mattis announced he would resign from his post and word emerged that President Trump will draw down troops in Afghanistan.

Former founder Erik Prince sold the company in 2010, but has maintained communications with Trump and reportedly pressed him to employ private contractors in Afghanistan, where the U.S. is said to be preparing to withdraw nearly 7,000 troops.


Prince — who has also been interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller as part of his investigation into whether Trump colluded with the Russians during the 2016 election — does not have any known relations to the Constellis Group, the new name put on the company after it was purchased by Apollo Holdings Group. The firm reportedly shelved plans earlier this year to try to sell the Constellis Group.

The tease about a return to business comes after a federal judge on Wednesday found a former Blackwater guard guilty for his role in a 2007 shooting in Baghdad, long considered a low-point in the 17-year-old conflict.

Lets agree to disagree and stay on topic about American mercenary army who try to portray to the world they are beacon of light.

Unlike the usual regular soldiers in US military ,these contractors are criminals .This CEO itself a drop out and his employees are either court martialed ones or having criminal mindset with only few are from former decorated soldiers .

Poor Afghans will really suffer .

I do and hence the awareness. I was praying for you as you went missing earlier. :X

You are right.Donald Trumps nature vouches that possibility .He would be in good terms with big powers that can give much heat to US but ruthlessly suppress that depends US .
