I thought he said Moore distorted and edited...I think I understand where the "funding Bin Ladin" thing came from..the ISI connection..but not direct support for..He was only one of many then...The ISI really supported the Taliban if I recall..after the war with Russia.
Thank you. You are a real Freeper. I am not a troll... I hate Michael Moore with a passion and you can't find a single post where I support any of Moore's lies.
I don't think America needs to apologize for anything we did under Reagan and Bush in Afghanistan to win the Cold War in the 1980s. There were some intelligence mistakes in not recognizing the threat of Al Queda and the Taliban later on, but the serious mistakes came under the "watch" of Clinton. Backing the wrong side in the Balkans, for example, lobbing intentional misses in Bin Laden's direction in order to distract from personal scandal, etc., etc.
Clinton's legacy is 9/11.
Yes, the ISI supported the Taliban, after the US abandoned Afghanistan to its own devices. They overthrew the government (well, it wasn't a very effective government) established by our allies after defeating the Soviets.
Mr Troll is parroting Moore's conclusion, which is all that matters. Presumably he's trying the old troll logic of a false splitting of the difference.
American did not support Osama. Mr Troll claimed he did. Case closed.
