PEOPLE HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN I SAY THIS, BUT IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY OF THE CIA, IT'S COVERT OPERATIONS, THE SO-CALLED SOVIET INTEREST AND INVOLVEMENT IN AFGHNISTAN OR THE MILITANT GROUPS THAT THEY SAY WE'RE NOT FIGHTING AGAINST. SO HERE'S A QUICK SUMMARY OF WHY IT'S PLAUSIBLE THE THE CIA IS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT BACKED AND SUPPORTED TALIBAN.
THE TALIBAN FORMED IN 1994.
IN 1979 WE WERE TOLD THAT THE SOVIET UNION SENT TROOPS TO AFGHANISTAN TO PROTECT A COMMUNIST GOV'T, RUN BY THE PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF AFGHANISTAN.
THESE RUSSIAN TROOPS REMAINED IN THE REGION FOR DECADES, THEY TOLD US.
IN THE EARLY 80'S THE CIA'S OPERATION CYCLONE COVERTELY FUNNELLED OVER $3 BILLION IN STOLEN AMERICAN TAX-CATTLE MONEY INTO THE COFFERES OF THE SO-CALLED (ANTI-SOVIET FIGHERS) (CALLED THE MUJAHEDIN)
IN ADDITION TO OBSCENE AMOUNTS OF MONEY (I'M SURE $3 BILLION WAS ALL THAT WAS GIVEN (WINK WINK)) THESE ANTI-SOVIET FIGHTERS WERE GIVEN U.S. MADE WEAPONS AND U.S. MILITARY ASSISTANCE SUPPORT
IN ADDITION TO THIS MASSIVE AMOUNT OF WEALTH, WEAPONRY AND MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX ASSISTANCE, BRITAINS MI6, WHO WAS CONDUCTING SEPARATE COVERT OPERATIONS WAS ALSO SUPPORTING THE MUJAHIDEEN.
HERE'S THE THING ABOUT THIS CIA OPERATION, THE PROGRAM HEAVILY SUPPORTED MILITANT ISLAMIC GROUPS INCLUDING GROUPS WITH KNOWN JIHADIST TIES. THE KICKER IS THAT THEY HAD A CHOICE. THERE WERE OTHER LES IDEOLOGICAL AFGHAN RESISTANCE GROUPS THAT HAD ALSO BEEN FIGHTING THE SOVIET-ORIENTED DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF AFHANISTAN ADMINISTRATION SINCE BEFORE THE SOVIET INTERVENTION. BUT THE CIA CHOSE THE MILITANT GROUPS. SUPPORTED THE MILITANT GROUPS, FUNDED THE MILITANT GROUPS. MEMBERS OF THOSE GROUPS LATER FORMED THE TALIBAN IN 1994.
SO, YOU BE THE JUDGE. WHAT PART OF THE TALIBAN IS NOT CIA FUNDED, TRAINED AND SUPPORTED.
