The Ukraine war. (Yes, we'll mind our manners)

Lol. TF is wrong with you?

The US funded the Mujahedeen through Pakistani secret services. It's also well known that the CIA and our special forces were on the ground training them.

Bin Laden went there with a wave of Arabs who became known as the Afghan Arabs. They fought under the Mujahedeen banner along with other foreign fighters bought and paid for by the Pakistani secret services using US funds.

Al Qaeda was formed once the Russians beat feet. Those Afghan Arabs decided to hang around and join up.

Those same Pakis took the rest of the funding and used it to pay for their madrassas where they trained tons of their own "students". They then sent them in number back to Afghanistan once the Russians retreated. There they formed their own faction and fought against the remnants of the Mujahedeen, who were by then shattered into smaller factions. Those asshole became the Taliban.

So the US not only paid for the Taliban, they also helped to form Al Qaeda.

I'm not disagreeing with what you wrote. I just wouldn't say Al Qaeda sprang from the Mujahedeen as if they were bad guys in this. I don't think they were.

Im going to assume some of you will feel this all the proof you need that Syria's new government will be good for the world and the US.

This is the most haphazard "administration" in the history of this Country. Can't wait for these bozos to hit the road.

Didn’t WWIII occur in the 80’s while we were funneling resources to Afghanistan and Iraq? I seem to recall Russian paratroopers dropping into rural Colorado.

Yep but Patrick Swayze put an end to it.

Hey, did those other 4 sources I gave you, to prove we funded and trained ISIS, persuade you are you still going to deny we had anything to do with them getting started?

Looks like Israel is getting in on the act now. They have moved into Southern Syria and established a buffer zone around the buffer zone that fronts the Golan Heights. We are watching Syria get divided up in real time folks. History making stuff.

False

Pretty sure that’s an absolute fact.

It's funny that you think Assad just started killing people for no reason. Like everything was fine.... we wanted to build a pipeline through Syria and all the sudden Assad just started murking people. Weird timing huh. And if Assad was so bad then how come he had the largest Christian population left in the middle east? Why were there so many ethnic minorities living in peace for so long? One pipeline and all that is done. It's like you didn't know that starting war was going to end up in the death of tons of people. Shocker.

Defending Assad, wow. I guess nothing is off the table for you loon.

People aren't being stopped from helping, certainly not in the ridiculous context you're presenting.
