Who do these arrogant idiots think they are?


This very brief article appeared in Reuters today and when I looked up the name on the net I found the resume below. Evidently, the real power in Pakistan is influenced heavily by USA investment and wealth. 


If this is correct, then the Taliban have control over an entire Plutocratic network in that country. The CIA would know, I would hope they would know if this is accurate, because, having one person control this much wealth in Pakistan is dangerous to the country's sovereignty and to the security of the international security.


The article by Reuters was very odd to me and I didn't take it for face value. It was short and the person in the article wasn't identified, except, for the name. If this person holds this much power in Pakistan then it is easy to control the country.

U.S. should respect decision to imprison doctor who helped CIA find bin Laden: Pakistan (click here)

(Reuters) - The United States should respect a Pakistan court's decision to imprison a doctor accused of helping the CIA find Osama bin Laden, the Pakistan foreign ministry spokesman said on Thursday.

"I think as far as the case of Mr. Afridi is concerned, it was in accordance with Pakistani laws and by the Pakistani courts, and we need to respect each other's legal processes," Moazzam Ali Khan told reporters.

The picture above came compliments of "Linked in". This is the resume (click here). The resume states Kahn is a power broker. By every estimate, Kahn is a very powerful man and pulls many strings in Pakistan. I am sure Kahn receives many perks in life for the role played in that country.

Below is an article explaining how networking works well in Pakistan for the supply chain.
...Using a systematic approach (click here)  to networking – a social activity where the implicit objective is to form professional relationships that may increase one’s future business and employment prospects – each participant was made to interact with at least five supply chain professionals he or she did not know before.
“I ran out of my business cards today during the networking session,” a chemical engineer working in the supply chain of ICI Pakistan toldThe Express Tribune. “That was the most orderly and useful networking opportunity I’ve ever had.”...


This is a link to a Supply Chain Conference (click here). It is on Facebook. Somehow having Facebook become an IPO makes sense if one wants to control the viability of connectedness. I am sure that is what Morgan Stanley was thinking when underwriting it.


Regardless, this level of connectedness in the supply system of Pakistan has to dictate, the Taliban are involved. They have expanded their reach to major cities of commerce in Pakistan. If USA intelligence is expecting to find drug trades and monies as the only source of income to these criminal networks, they aren't looking hard enough. If what I am looking at is correct; then the Taliban not only have the potential to intimidate a government, but, control its wealth as well.
