Taliban Representatives Visit Unocal in Texas (Tx Gov. George W. Bush) - Dec. 1997 America's Jihad: A History of Origins | BBC News |

... to build a gas pipeline from Turkmenistan to Pakistan through Afghanistan.

Oil Barons Court Taliban in Texas

In February 1997, a delegation of Taliban leaders had flown to the Unocal headquarters at Sugarland, Texas, for a whirlwind of corporate hospitality. Two months later, Unocal opened a project office in Kandahar, the seat of Taliban power. 


In this deceitful pipeline politics - inclusive of pleasure trips abroad by leaders of the Taliban - the competition was not restricted solely between commercial interests; the governments of regional states as well as the great powers were also dragged into what became known as the New Great Game. 


As for the U.S. government, it wanted Unocal to build the oil and gas pipelines from the Central Asian states to Pakistan through Afghanistan so that the vast untapped oil and gas reserves in the Central Asian and Caspian regions could be transported to markets in South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Far East and the Pacific.

Embedded With Special Forces in Afghanistan | Black Rifle Coffee Company |

Coffee or Die Magazine's Marty Skovlund Jr. was given exclusive access to embed with aSpecial Forces team in the mountains of Afghanistan, and accompany them on a combat mission into ISIS-held territory. [LocationNangarhar Valley]

These Green Beret's fit the common tropes associated with Special Forces: beards, long-ish hair, and relaxed attitudes along with a few sleeve tattoos sprinkled in for good measure.

Although they sport ball caps and Glocks in lieu of cowboy hats and six-shooters, they are frontiersman all the same -- charged with taming theMohmand Valley.

The team operates out of COP Blackfish, an isolated outpost in the Mohmand Valley and only a short walk from where the controversial "MOAB" was dropped last year.

Suspect in Washington DC national guard shooting had ties to CIA, agency confirms | The Guardian |

Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, worked with agency-backed military units during US war in Afghanistan

The suspected shooter of two national guard members in Washington DC on Wednesday worked with CIA-backed military units during the US war in Afghanistan, the agency has confirmed.

The alleged gunman, identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, came to the US in September 2021 under anOperation Allies Welcome program that gave some Afghans who had worked for the US government entry visas to the US.

Lakanwal's ties to the Central Intelligence Agency, which worked alongside US special forces in Afghanistan, were confirmed by the CIA director, John Ratcliffe, to media outlets on Wednesday evening.

The New York Times reported that the shooting suspect had worked for several US government agencies in Afghanistan, including a CIA-backed unit in the southern province of Kandahar, a stronghold of the Taliban.

I watched Henry Waxman's hearings today on Pat Tillman and Jessica Lynch | by Martin Longman - 24 April 2007 |

In a transcript of his interview with Brig. Gen. Gary Jones during a November 2004 investigation,Lt. Col. Ralph Kauzlarich said he'd learned Kevin Tillman, Pat's brother and fellow Army Ranger who was a part of the battle the night Pat Tillman died, objected to the presence of a chaplain and the saying of prayers during a repatriation ceremony in Germany before his brother's body was returned to the United States.

Kauzlarich, now a battalion commanding officer at Fort Riley in Kansas, further suggested the Tillman family's unhappiness with the findings of past investigations might be because of the absence of a Christian faith in their lives.

In an interview with ESPN.com, Kauzlarich said: "When you die, I mean, there is supposedly a better life, right? Well, if you are an atheist and you don't believe in anything, if you die, what is there to go to? Nothing. You are worm dirt. So for their son to die for nothing, and now he is no more -- that is pretty hard to get your head around that. So I don't know how an atheist thinks. I can only imagine that that would be pretty tough."

Christian dying on the Afghan battlefield have a pass for heaven?? WTF ... idiocy unlimited.
