Most of the people we supported wound up fighting the Taliban in the Northern Alliance, before 9/11 and our ops there.

I guess you forgot about the Iran Contra scandal where we happened to sell weapons to Iran.

So you are saying the US did not train & arm Bin Laden in the 80's? The Taliban is Pakistani, and none of the anti-Soviet Freedom Fighters are involved? The US did not support the Freedom Fighters in the 80s? The US did not support Iraq (and yes I remeber Iran / Contras)? I bet you voted for Bush & believe in WMDs! Put your head back in the sand, I'm out!
