Ronald Regan meets with the Taliban *PIC*

This is fucking bullshit, too. Bin Laden was in Afghanistan fighting the Russians, but he was never on the CIA's "payroll."

We did help them (the Mujahideen) but so the fuck what? It was the mid to late 80's. The Taliban and Al Qaeda did not emerge until after we ended our involvement there.

Anyone who thinks Reagan palled around with the Taliban, or that we armed and trained people who were, at the time, our enemies, is just stone cold fuck nuts.
 
It's hardly bullshit. The Taliban and Al Qaeda emerged specifically because of our involvement. Reagan wasn't palling around with them while they were our enemies, but he certainly armed and trained them and turned us into their enemy at the same time. It's all a product of our ass backward interventionist foreign policy since the end of WWII.
