Who decided to work on arming al Qaeda?
Astute question. Remember how they tried to take Reagan down over Iran Contra? Why no questions now - at least Iran Contra was an attempt at trying to get 7 Americans back safe and sound.
This is so much worse than anything in the past (even the Gulf of Tonkin) that it's incredible that "those who care" aren't going insane trying to get to the bottom of it.
