The proof that Saddam worked with bin Laden

[The_Rorschach]

Come on people, think for a moment. I'm not sure who said it, but there is some obvious confusion.

CIA has ties to Al Quaeda. Alright, what did they do? Well, they helped organize resistance to Russian imperialism, as in, the Soviets were going to sack Afghanistan and we couldn't interfere military so we taught them to. Thats not exactly a bad thing. We also armed and trained them. Holy fuck. We helped a people protect their nation, yeah, thats the same as the current ME nations helping Al Quaeda make terrorist strikes.

We also inspired others to rise up for their own sake and secede from the Soviet Union. Yes, got alot of them killed, yes they proxy soldiers for a US cause -But that in no way undermines the importance of their independant actions.

Most of you only Gorbachev, perestroika, glasnost and the end of the Cold War. Think back to Brezhnev and you may realize things were a bit more dire once.
