Afghanistan: Tribe To Fight Taliban In Return For Aid From U.S.

   This is good news, if in fact these guys want to oppose the Taliban.  Boy, a 400,000 strong tribe is impressive, and 1 million dollars in aid for their loyalty is a good deal in my book.  Now will they actually produce and truly run the Taliban out of town is the big question? […]

Jobs: Armed Escort, Indian Ocean

   Sounds like an interesting gig if you can get on.  Notice the SIA license requirement, as well as the multi-language deal. I am seeing the SIA being more of requirement for security contracting internationally, and that license would certainly make you more marketable.  Maybe someone from the company can add some more commentary about […]

Publications: Pseudo Operations And COIN: Lessons From Other Countries, By Dr. Lawrence E. Cline

   If you have the time, check out this excellent paper.  I loved it, because this is the kind of stuff that we need to be doing more of in this war. All it takes is one guy that we can use to deeply penetrate into Osama Bin Laden’s network or some drug cartel, and […]

Arizona: The Owner Of Gunsite Is Running For Governor

Legal News: Australian Sentenced To Death In Afghanistan

   Unfortunate to say the least.  It is hard to comment on this, other than I truly hope that justice is being served and the Australian government can help to commute the sentence.  This kind of deal is one of those things where you had to be there, in order to understand the dynamics. Was […]

Afghanistan: Canadian General Says Afghanistan To Regulate Private Security

     I love this kind of stuff, because it is a prime example of the types of market forces that not only drive places like Afghanistan, but throughout the world.  My thoughts on the matter is that if the police paid more than PSC’s and the Taliban, then more than likely, they will retain […]

Bounties: $50,000 For The 20 Questions Bandits And $10,000 For The Blue Note Bandit, California

   I hope these thugs get caught, and it would be really cool if it was a FJ reader.  It’s stuff like this, where a Bounty Hunter Mobile Application would totally shine.  Both Bank of America and Wells Fargo could have easily signed on with mobile application, and updated the last known position as tips […]

Industry Talk: Audit Hits State Department On Failures To Monitor Iraq Work

   Yet again, how come this does not surprise me?  The one part that really stands out about this report, is the fact that they only had one contracting officer to monitor over a billion dollars worth of invoices.  I am no expert on contracting officers, but it would seem to me that using just […]

Industry Talk: Obama Administration Steers Lucrative No-Bid Contract For Afghan Work To Dem Donor

   How come this does not surprise me? For years, the media was slamming President Bush and his administration for this practice, and now here we have the Obama Administration doing the same thing? Didn’t President Obama run on a campaign saying he would not do this?
   Although I am not too shocked by this […]
