"Fucking Osama Bin Laden was then recruited, trained SOUP sent there to destroy the Afghan Communist regime"

One of the most frequently and absolutely unsubstantiated claims made in regards to Al Queda. The CIA was definitely involved in funneling money into Afghanistan. However, virtually all of that money was done by intermediaries. The mistake the CIA made was to allow the Israeli agencies they were working through pick and choose who the money went to.

Regardless, the idea that bin Laden was running around Afghanistan being personally selected to receive CIA training is utterly baseless.

There is plenty of blame in the affair to go around to not need to resort to fabricated over-dramtizations.
