Ping!
It's an open forum, for criminy sake.
Heck, folks can hit abuse if they're that offended or take a walk or something. I do it occasionally and sleep just fine afterward.
This FRee Speech thing is a real burden, huh? ;-)
A slightly better translation follows:
Al-Qaeda number two, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was trained by the Russian FSB in 1998. This has been asserted by an ex KGB agent, Alexander Litvinenko, in an interview to the Polish daily "Rzeczpospolita," in which he has said that "in 1998 Al-Zawahiri was in a training camp of the FSB (ex KGB) in Daghestan. He was then transferred in Afghanistan and became Osama bin Laden's deputy," has said Alexander Litvinenko: "At that time I used to work in that section of the FSB and I can confirm that Zawahiri was the only link between the FSB and al-Qaeda."
It *really* makes you wonder what the agenda of some individuals is.
Disinformation IS in, no matter what Rummy said a few years back.. ;-)
LMFAO!!!!! After recieving that rather odd FReepmail, I decided to check something. Guys, I just looked at "GarySpFC" ping list on post #14.
He has none other than "MarMema" A *KNOWN* PUTIN APOLOGIST ON FR!!!!
The plot thickens....this place is teeming with trolls!
No we didn't !
Saddam was well on his was and killed many people in the 70's way before the US knew him.
He was already President for several years when the CIA helped him against Iran and that help was just enough to keep Iran from going all the way to Bagdad which they almost did.
A: Massoud.
Q: Who killed Massoud?
A: Al Qaeda, the buddies of the Taliban.
Funny how we're never credited with backing the future enemies of the Taliban. And funny how we're blamed for creating the Taliban, a group which only came about years after we left and which was not formed with CIA money or aid but rather gained popularity and hence power by acting as a curb to the lawlessness left by Russia's war and retreat. The Taliban were a creation of Pakistan's former elected government and an inadvertant side-effect of the Russian invasion years before. One thing they were not was a creation of ours.
The Taliban never would have existed but for the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, which created the refugee crisis which led to the setting up of camps in Pakistan for the survivors of the war. Yet, the Taliban would have existed whether or not the US had anything to do with opposing the Russians, since either way the camps from which they sprang in 1994 would have existed.
Actually the Soviets went in because the Jimmy Carter backed Islamics were heading into the soft underbelly of the SU to create a Jihad. Carter backed them to suck the Soviets into their own Vietnam. This was prudent at the moment but the after math wasn't just badly managed, it wasn't managed at all, thus we got the Taliban and Massoud was backed by the Russians after the SU collapsed.
Soviet meddling in internal affairs. People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan coups and the propping up of the puppet regime. Any links?

No, but I do have many friends in the Special Operations community, and they would laugh at this nonsense.
It was these lie about Russia being behind Chechnya that first got me started fighting your nonsense. I had known for years what is going on and I could not believe somebody would post this nonsense. Al-Qaeda came out of the war with the Russians in Afganistan, and to suggest that Russia is in league with al-Qaeda is the height of stupidity. The two are mortal enemies.
Payback for our role in the Russkies' defeat in Afghanistan?
"We helped lay the groundwork. We helped create Saddam too."
Both statements are ridiculous.
Nonsense. The US had nothing to do with the "creation" of Saddam. Statements such as that will destroy any credibility you may aim for.
You are apparently unaware of the genesis of the Soviet invasion of Afganistan. Jimmy Carter had NOTHING to do with anything going on there.
