The CIA Never Trained or Financed Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan

It's funny to me that some people run around screaming and yelling about being brainwashed, but when they read an article that comes from "Fox News" they turn off all logic and reason.

CWalker... when the Afghans fought the Russians during the Cold War... who supported the Afghans and helped bring the Mujahideen into power? The United States. Who helped fight alongside the Mujahideen? Osama bin Lade. The U.S. provided them with weaponry, money, training, etc. and after the Afghans defeated the Russians, the U.S. just left the country in shambles. That's why there was so much infighting afterwards. The U.S. then found out there's some oil in Afghanistan, and wanted to get their greedy hands on it. It couldn't get this oil without the agreement with a central government in Afghanistan. So, who do they bring in? The Taliban. Taliban take over most of the country, and when the U.S. asks them to let them construct an oil-line down the country, the Taliban reject their offer. So, we carpetbomb them, set up a puppet state (who will let us construct that pipeline), and we help them rebuild the country this time so that there won't be chaos again.

My opinion is that the removal of the Taliban was a good thing, and many Afghans are happy about that. But, if the U.S. wasn't so selfish in the past, none of the bullshit would've happened, and millions of lives would've been saved. Funny how as soon as there's a sign of oil, the U.S. will do anything to help them now.

Those Arab Afghans werent a separate recognized entity within the rebel movement. However, they did recieve lots of  specific funding from Arab states.

 WTF.. what's the Us gonna do wiht all the oil once the nations find out an more feasible alternative source of energy???


 Cmon man we all have to live together... I mean we ARE human aren't we.. we understand what it means to be compassionate and we understand what it feels to share sumthing that's  precious to us..

 If all nations start following the age old concept of survival of the fittest then surely the world 's gonna be a bad bad place to live in in the coming decades... and I see Armageddon comin...

Trauma-san:
Thanks for pointing us to this informative article.  I'm guilty of just letting the media swerve me on that one, I thought we had financed Bin Ladin, it's good to know we didn't.  I thought it seemed strange that he ever would have worked with us, now it's clear he never did.  More liberal bullshit that has been put to rest.  People are always calling conservatives liars, but time and time again, it's the liberals caught with their pants down (sometimes literally), and we never hear any apologies from anyone slinging the mud.  Admit it guys, you were wrong.
