When the Moonbats accuse us of arming and training OBL we were doing the same with Massood weren't we?

No. We were arming only Massood and HIS mujahadeen. OBL tried to hijack Massood's successes. Many others in Afghanistan were trying to kill Massood. Massood was the one who stood up to the Soviet Red Army. After we left Afghanistan, we stopped arming him with what he needed.

OBL was also part of the mujahadeen till he turned on Massood. That was my only point.

I grant you Massood was the leader but I just wanted to point out the Moonbat hypocrisy when they lump OBL in with Massood.

Hekmatyar's organization was also reported to have received arms. It was a complicated situation, with shifting alliances. That may appear regrettable in hindsight, but it did contribute to the downfall of the Soviet Union.

OBL tried to hijack Massood's successes.

That is true.
