It's common knowledge that Osama Bin Laden and many members of the current al-Qaeda were trained by the CIA when he was a member of the Afghan jihad fighting against Communist Russia.

There was a big difference between the Arab fighters in Afghanistan and the Afghani Mujahadeen. Yes they were the same religion (sorta), and yes they still fought the Russians, but because they fought in the same direction does not mean they had anything in common politically.
I'm not saying Bin Laden did not get indirect training, however the lines of supplies have been declassified and they were primarily to the warlords of the Mujahadeen. This is seen quite simply because they were the exact same warlords who helped us defeat the Taliban and Bin Laden.

That's the real question, Seaver, and the answers that are coming in show that history will not be kind to the Bush administration, or to those who supported it. Your criticism of me amounts to baseless scapegoating.

It's not a scapegoat, and I'm not the problem. It's you constantly posting ludicris theories, e.g. that the US killed that man. Did it ever cross your mind that the fighters could be ex-Iraq/Syrian military (your "evidence" of the orange jump suite and at-ease stance)? No, of course not. Bush is to blame.
