I already posted the link to the history of the Taliban.They were already formed when they were one of the Mujahideen factions fighting Reagan's proxy war against the Russians. They rose to power in the early 1990s. There is a difference between forming and rising to be the dominant power in the area.Now Ed how does the Taliban get formed in the 90's but be formed during Reagan and I didn't even have a computer and start going after them?
That's a flat out lie. Stop.
History of the Taliban
The Taliban was one of the Mujahideen factions that formed during the Soviet occupation and the internal fighting in Afghanistan. The Taliban emerged as a powerful movement in late 1994 when Pakistan chose the Taliban to guard a convoy trying to open a trade route from Pakistan to Central Asia. With Pakistan providing weapons, military training, and financial support, the Taliban gained control over several Afghan cities and successfully captured Kabul in September 1996.
