For only US$6500, those trapped in Afghanistan — desperate to flee and hoping to catch a flight from Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport following the Taliban's swift take over of the country earlier this month — can now reserve a seat on a charter flight operated by military contractor Blackwater. The scheme is the brainchild of Blackwater founder and alleged war criminal, Erik Prince, whose company made billions from government military contracts during the U.S.-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Even If one can afford the initial US$6500 — a steep price in a country where the average worker earns less than $600 a year — it's nearly impossible to gain access to the airport. The Taliban slammed airport entry points shut after spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, said the new government is "unhappy" about the continuing evacuations of Afghan's, and that the government will "not allow that" during a press conference yesterday. So even if one could ensure safe passage into the airport, it's dangerous for most to be seen in public. First reported by the Wall Street Journal, Blackwater's offer includes an armored vehicle to ensure safe passage to the airport for an additional unspecified hidden fee.

I just realised I can’t find my posts last night. which bastard owner or moderator deleted my spam of Jeremy Quek @glockman posts last night while keeping all these spamming scamming posts by your fellow bastards slandering me a real virgin a fake virgin dirty whore? @nayr69sg? @zhihau? @Leongsam? My guess is @nayr69sg because he is the most free and sneaky manipulative bastard. Shame on you bastards.
 
Wow, this is going to be an Oscar award winning movie.
 
Forget the mercs, send in the seals!
One more ex navy SEAL guy getting more media coverage - Dan Crenshaw. Former seal officer who served in Afghanistan where he lost an eye to an IED attack. Now he's an outspoken Republican politician. Many want him to run for the next presidential election. Still young though ... Under 40 years old. But definitely one guy to watch.
