Blackwater in Pakistan "By Robert Gates"

[S-2]

"Wonder if they get a salary or paid per post?"

Spreading the truth in the face of intentional and poisonous dissemblance like yours is payment enough.

Please stop the ad hominem attacks unless you can identify where I've got the story WRONG and you've got it RIGHT. Otherwise we can simply assume that in the absence of factual information you resort to the last refuge of the irhabists and that's distortion.

Thanks.

So you wouldn't disagree with Blackwater/Xe's involvement in JSOC/CIA operations in Pakistan? I mean after all, if Pakistan is allowing drone strikes, it really wouldn't be that big of a deal for Blackwater/Xe to be involved in a contract. Especially considering that the Pakistani government is well aware of the sensitivities of having actual/official US troops on the ground, it makes sense to use highly trained operators who'll bring less attention to themselves.

 

[Awesome]

The point is, Blackwater and DynaCorp are extremely hated organizations in Pakistan, most people believing they are responsible for a few bombings and of course eying our atomic bombs.

Nobody would buy that there are just pencil pusher Blackwater in Pakistan. Rehman Malik must resign since he clearly stated there is NOBODY from Blackwater here and said that hes taking steps against DynaCorp.

Couple that with the scores of white people you see in Islamabad with automatic weapons, there is definitely something rotten going on and our government should be made to tell the truth.

Boots on the ground is never acceptable. Drone attacks without coordination with Pakistan... not acceptable.

"Drone attacks without coordination with Pakistan... not acceptable."

We won't be asking permission to defend ourselves from attacks originating from your lands. Either Pakistan cannot govern its lands or is willfully supporting enemies of Afghanistan, the U.N., ISAF, and America. Your choice, Asim. Which is it?

The gig is up on their presence. Eight years of categorical denial went POOF when Ahmad Mukhtar made his fascinating disclosure last December. Do you need reminding? Not that it was necessary because Haqqani's ownership of all things Miram Shahish is too well known anyway.

Either way, those miserable human feces will be attacked. The alternatives to PREDATOR which we possess only get worse...not better so, really, nobody cares.

Rather two-faced whining about us when you've an entire foreign government on your soil making war on Afghanistan, the U.N., and ISAF.

Is Pakistan the enemy of Afghanistan, the U.N. and ISAF? If not then quit complaining about us doing your work for you. If so, let's get it on properly.

Your board lacks leadership. Too many children leading the chorus and not enough of the THINK TANK setting things straight.

The afghan taliban, Haqqani, and Hekmatyar are on your lands and making war on Afghanistan, the U.N. and ISAF. Your OWN CITIZENS like Maulvi Nazir and Hafez Gul Bahadur are doing the same.

Those are the facts. Either you support such or you don't but are too weak to resist them. Either way we've a right to self-defense. The only question is whether that self-defense should include protecting ourselves from the GoP.

Thanks.
