Just 2 examples.
1. During the Afghan war the CIA trained and funded Osama Bin Laden.
2. During the 1st Gulf war (the 3rd was the last one) Saddam Hussein was equiped with American weapons by the Americans.

Both of these statements are skewed and mistakingly taken out of context.
1. The USA/CIA funded Pakistan during the Russian/Afgani war. They inturn trained and supplied the Mujadin (Not the Taliban or AL Qeada).
2. Those weapons were given to Saddam to fight the Iranians during the Iran/Iraq War. If you remember at the time Iran had just had a revolution and had 60+ America hostages (at least in the beginning of the conflict).
