Post #11,952 by Simon_Jester 10/5/01 1:58:40 PM Reply	According to the sources I read (I'm looking for them...) We tried to train the Afgan fighters. But they were...um..difficult to work with. So we worked with the Muslim that moved into the area (and which were easier to train). I doubt we ever expected them to take over the country, much less attack us. These were Saudias, (according to some sources) our best allies over there bar none. Hell, we sell the Saudias some of our better defense equipment. They were fighting Communism. Why WOULDN'T we train them? (I'm looking for my sources now though.)

Post #11,958 by bepatient 10/5/01 2:26:28 PM Reply	Still... ...it was on CNN, IIRC...an interview that touched upon these issues...with a member of the CIA team...basically said that the CIA and Osama's organizations were both interested in the same objectives...there wasn't any financial support and very little military support provided directly to his organization. It was more of a "hey, Osama...find out where these Stingers are supposed to go" than a "here's a bunch of Stingers for you to distribute" kind of assistance. But in order to know for sure...we'll have to wait for those documents to be de-classified...and I've a feeling that may take a really long time.
