Victory in Mosul, Daesh dead!

[Auld Phart]

Minor soldier in the Mujahideen.

Hardly minor, given the fact that his family resources provided massive amounts of logistics, support and recruitment of Arab Volunteers.

You see, here was the ugly little secret of Reagan's stupid support of rebels in Afghanistan. THe CIA didn't understand the Pushtans and the Tajiks and the Uzbeks and the other ethnic groups and their tribal customs. But Arabs who wanted to go over and kill infidels, the CIA had plenty of guys who spoke Arabic and could work with them.

Again, read a book, Stupid.

AL QUEDA DID NOT EXIST WHILE REAGAN WAS PRESIDENT.

IN the Mujahideen, he was a minor soldier.

After he left, and helped create Al Queda , his money and family standing gave him a leading role.

but, Al Queda did not exist while Reagan was president..



and you can't seem to get that fact into your tiny, locked brain.

 

[JoeB131]

IN the Mujahideen, he was a minor soldier.

No, he was a fairly major commander AND a major provider of logistics and support. That's what you don't seem to get. Or don't want to get. But I can't help you with your learning disability.

Bin Laden wasn't fighting the Russians because he though Communism sucked and Capitalism was nifty. He fought the Russians because the thought of women reading and wearing pants horrified him.

The CIA armed him anyway. Then acted all surprised when he flew planes into our skyscrapers.

 

[Call Sign Chaos]

Okay, Dummy, what they were calling their little clubhouse in 1985 doesn't take away form the fact it was the same people in the club- Namely Bin Laden and Mullah Omar.

There is zero evidence thatwe gave aid of any sort to either Bin Laden or Mullah Omar. In fact there is zero evidence that the US funded the foreign jihadists we aided indigenous mujahadeen like the Lion of Panjshir Ahmad Shah Massoud who went on to form the Northern Alliance which was the Talibans and Al Qaedas primary rival in Afghanistan.

They are willing to use ethnic cleansing and terror against Turks to get it.

You are a sick demented son of a bitch, it is the Turks that use terror and ethnic cleansing against the Kurds not the other way around.

But here's the thing, buddy. None of this is our problem. So in a couple of years, when these Kurds are blowing up Americans because we are allied with Turkey through NATO, you'll be right back here saying "Muzzies are EEEEEEvil" because we stuck our dicks in the hornet's nest... again.

Erdogan is an Islamist scumbag and is no friend of the United States and never has been he has tranformed Turkey from a secular democracy to a theocratic tyranny governed by state terror and political oppression, the Kurds on the other hand have never been anything but staunch and loyal allies to the United States and comprise one of if not the most secular and liberal Muslim groups on the planet.

Kurdish–Turkish conflict (1978–present) - Wikipedia

Take your own advice yoy sick fuck:



Kurds have had a long history of discrimination and massacres perpetrated against them by the Turkish government.[1] Massacres have periodically occurred against the Kurds since the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923. Among the most significant is the Dersim massacre where 13,160 civilians were killed by the Turkish Army and 11,818 people were taken into exile.[2] According to McDowall, 40,000 people were killed.[3] The Zilan massacre of 1930, was a massacre[4][5]of the Kurdish residents of Turkey during the Ararat rebellion, in which 5,000 to 47,000 were killed.[6]

The use of Kurdish language, dress, folklore, and names were banned and the Kurdish-inhabited areas remained under martial lawuntil 1946.[7] In an attempt to deny their existence, the Turkish government categorized Kurds as "Mountain Turks" until 1991.[8][9][10] The words "Kurds", "Kurdistan", or "Kurdish" were officially banned by the Turkish government.[11] Following the military coup of 1980, the Kurdish language was officially prohibited in public and private life.[12] Many people who spoke, published, or sang in Kurdish were arrested and imprisoned.[13]Since lifting of the ban in 1991, the Kurdish population of Turkey has long sought to have Kurdish included as a language of instruction in public schools as well as a subject. Currently, it's illegal to use the Kurdish language as an instruction language in private and public schools.

During the Kurdish-Turkish conflict, food embargoes were placed on Kurdish populated villages and towns.[14][15] There were many instances of Kurds being forcefully deported out of their villages by Turkish security forces.[16] Many villages were reportedly set on fire or destroyed.[17][16] Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, political parties that represented Kurdish interests were banned.[11]In 2013, a ceasefire effectively ended the violence until June 2015, when hostilities renewed between the PKK and the Turkish government over the Turkey–ISIL conflict. Violence was widely reported against ordinary Kurdish citizens and the headquarters and branches of the pro-Kurdish rights Peoples' Democratic Party were attacked by mobs.[18]The European Court of Human Rights has condemned Turkey for the thousands of human rights abuses.[19][20] Many judgments are related to systematic executions of Kurdish civilians,[21] torturing,[22] forced displacements,[23] destroyed villages,[24][25][26]arbitrary arrests,[27] murdered and disappeared Kurdish journalists, activists and politicians.[28]

Not the foreign Arab jihadists we did not aid them in any way, shape, or form we aided the indigenous Afghan mujahadeen some of which would go on to join the Taliban but others of which would go on to form the Northern Alliance; such as, Ahmad Shah Massoud the Lion of Panjshir.


The so-called Afghan Arabs included some well-intentioned people, Bearden told us, but also a lot of “whack jobs,” including “an awful lot of derelicts emptied out of Saudi Arabian prisons. … It became sort of a Club Med Jihad.”

“For the most part, they were a joke, these guys,” Bearden said.

The CIA decided supporting the Arab fighters “would get out of hand,” he said. “There was no serious discussion of arming these Arab legions.”

There were “very few” Arabs who actually saw any combat in Afghanistan, Bearden said, although bin Laden got into a couple “dustups.” But that doesn’t mean their influence was not felt. Arab fundraisers were bringing in nearly $25 million a month at one point in the war, largely used for humanitarian and construction projects, Bearden said. And one of the most prominent fundraisers was bin Laden, although Bearden said that at the time bin Laden was largely unknown to U.S. intelligence.

The U.S. covertly funded the Afghan fighters through Pakistan. So how does Bearden know the Pakistanis didn’t simply give some of the money to the Arabs, including bin Laden?

“They didn’t,” Bearden said. “We had ways to check where the money was going.”

Besides, he said, the Arabs were “awash with money from the Gulf.” In other words, they didn’t need it. Bearden said the CIA made efforts to keep its support for Afghan forces “very discreet from everything else.”

“There was a policy not to do that [support the Arab fighters],” Bearden said. “The question is, ‘Did the CIA secretly support the radical Islamic Arabs in Afghanistan?’ The answer is absolutely not.”

Osama Ben Laden: A creation of the CIA, by Michel Chossudovsky - internationalnews

Osama Bin Laden


Osama bin Laden, America's bogyman, was recruited by the CIA in 1979 at the very outset of the US sponsored jihad. He was 22 years old and was trained in a CIA sponsored guerilla training camp.


During the Reagan administration, Osama, who belonged to the wealthy Saudi Bin Laden family was put in charge of raising money for the Islamic brigades. Numerous charities and foundations were created. The operation was coordinated by Saudi intelligence, headed by Prince Turki al-Faisal, in close liaison with the CIA. The money derived from the various charities were used to finance the recruitment of Mujahieen volunteers. Al Qaeda, the base in Arabic was a data bank of volunteers who had enlisted to fight in the Afghan jihad. That data base was initially held by Osama bin Laden.

Again, rovide the actual paper trail tying US finances/aid/training to the foreign Arab jihadists, what guerilla camp did the CIA train him at, who recruited him, where is the evidence? Because you have not presented that in any way, shape, or form.
