While she doesn't specifically state al-Qaeda, you can pretty much say with some certainty that she is talking about them.

The world is a stage and you just can't make this **** up. :D
 
Everyone already knew this? Go read up on Russia vs Afghanistan and how the american's helped them fight the Russian's off........ and who they trained and armed to do this.... and what those guys are up to now.

Well done, you found someone admit to something everyone has known for 20 years ;)
 
I thought this had already come to light on the BBC.....although a slightly older confirmation.

Scoffs at conspiracy theorists who daid this a decade ago.......ohh hang on.

You thought the war on terror was real....hahaha....numpty !!!!!!!!!!
 
Define new information?

Is information that you already knew and are told again old news?

But is information told to people for the first time new news?
The CIA funding and arming the Mujahideen is perhaps one of the worst kept secrets of the 80s. It was well known that it was just another proxy war at the time.
 
Wow, this is so fresh. I certainly didn't know this. Perhaps one day it might become so well known Aaron Sorkin might write a movie about it. I'm so glad we have Latex Dog here to give us the fresh truth behind the MAINSTREAM MEDIA LIEZ OMGZ.

I'm pretty sure that I was taught about the Afghan-Soviet conflict way back in KS3 History? :confused:

The US arming the Mujaheddin to hold off the soviets was well known - even back then. It was the US stinger missiles (anti-helicopter RPG) that made the biggest impact, stopping the Soviets from moving troops so freely.

A nation allying itself with "morally questionable" parties in order to combat a larger foe is par-for-the-course throughout History. Taking a few of the most obvious examples from the past century:

* The allies siding with the Russians during WWII (the allies knew the Russians would become enemies, but they couldn't push back the Nazis without Russian support from the East)
* The US supporting the Afghans during the Soviet invasion (as above)
* The US backing Iraq and Saddam Hussein during the Iraq-Iran war (Iran was viewed as the biggest threat due to their Islamic revolution)
* More recently, the US 'forcing' Pakistan to become a 'close ally' in the war on terror. (the US needed a relatively free hand in Pakistan in order to build a network against Al-Quaeda post 9/11).

There are many more, but those are the biggest ones that spring to mind. Countries choosing the lesser of two evils isn't exactly a new revelation, and neither is their choices coming back to bite them in the arse.
 
its not quite as straightforward as the US directly creating al-qaeda

its more the lack of US support and funding for the recovery of afghanistan AFTER the russians pulled out that was the problem - a country of angry and armed young men was left to clean up the ruins of their country with no help,
the US did not "train" al qaeda, the US trained the Mujahideen, who then all fought each other for power once the russians left, the ones "on our side" were the Northern Alliance,


it was much less the US trained Mujahideen that created al qaeda and far more US foriegn policy as a whole that gave them a reason to exist

Have you not seen Rambo 3? Rambo joins the Taliban to fight the evil Russian commander and his henchmen.

It's a movie that totally captures the American line of thought at the time.
