You have been duped by Islam, a dhimmi. Islam's useful idiot.
For an article to claim that the Taliban were not backed by Pakistan's secret service or by Saudi money (the only two nations outside of "Chechen Ichkeria" to recognize them) leaves the scholarship of this author in shreds.
Laughable.
I'm not going to argue with a closed mind. If you want to rely on MSM sources for your information on the global terror network, be my guest.
