It is not out of the question that he might be relocated to the US and provided security for the rest of his life.

He has more than enough money or will get it from us to provide for his own security in Dubai.

Either way, he will have to move when we do, there have already been several major attempts on his life.

Until the precise moment when they decide you are no longer on the "winning" team (aka someone else can and will pay them more), then they will switch loyalties at the drop of a hat. I never trusted working around them in my time in Afghanistan and never will for this fact alone.

Yeah, it was great being over there and KNOWING that our greatest threat came from the Afghans *inside* the wire.

I remember flying KC-10s full of money to Iraq and Afghanistan. I wonder who we paid off?

The easier question to answer: Who didn't we pay off.

There have been several investigations involving billions of dollars that simply vaporized. I doubt you will ever hear much about them.

Kinda like the relief supplies that I flew into some civilian airports in Iraq.
The relief was 100k lbs of smokes and large screen LCD tvs not to mention the pallet of cash.
