Blackwater's Erik Prince: Iraq, privatising wars, and Trump | Head to Head

In this episode of Head to Head, Mehdi Hasan challenges Erik Prince, the founder and former CEO of Blackwater, on his security firm’s performance during the Iraq war, the “exit strategy” he’s proposing for the war in Afghanistan, and his support for US President Donald Trump.
During the early years of the Bush administration’s so-called ‘War on Terror’, Blackwater grew into one of the most profitable private military contractors in the US.

    The Taliban loved the past 3 presidents plan. Afghanistan papers told us that its been deliberately neglected. Obama wanted the Taliban to take it over. So that China could work deals with the Taliban to mine minerals and trade weapons. Trump wanted the Taliban in because he refused to work with the Afghanistan Gov. And Biden wanted Afghanistan to fall the way it did, for the future prospect of reentering Afghanistan in a later date.

He is an incredibly sharp and intelligent journalist, however, and this interview is a MASTERCLASS on holding the powerful accountable. This should be shown in media classes across the country.

Those that killed innocent civilians were these: around 400 or 200 Catholics killed while praying to God in their own church in one Islamic country. Did you know that? Or just turn you face the other way and mentions others. C'mon! Don't be hypocrite! You Islamic or whatever you are: you got COJONES!

    I just learned about the whole Black Water thing and I found this interview astoundingly bad. Probably one of the worst interviewers I've ever seen. Too emotional. Too outraged. Constantly speaking over his guest and not letting the guest explain himself. I think he is the type of interviewer that caters to people who want to hear certain things instead of listening to an intellectually honest and civil debate/interview.
