Did I? I thought I said: "Are you denying that US/international community financed, trained and armed Afghan war lords (including OBL)".

Yes. So, I ask again, why did you say he was an Afghan warlord? Were you attempting to deliberately mislead?

However, I provided links to the sources of my information on one of the threads. And if you are interested, you can type in the question yourself. I'm not. That tripe was debunked within about a month of 9/11 and has long since stopped being interesting.

They were in the process of infighting by the time the USSR invaded in support of one of the sides. You supported the other side. It won and eventually formed into Taliban. False. For example, we did support Gulbuddin Hekmatyar (admittedly not a nice guy) in the Afghan-Soviet War. He headed the government that was deposed by the Taliban. He certainly was not one of them.

Unclear to whom? Folks that require evidence.

It is very relevant since the mission (one of the "missions" as they seemed to mutate as they progressed) was to oust Taliban -- a US creation. And now US/UK hold talks with "Taliban" or whatever you will choose to call them in order to withdraw leaving a messed up country to make it difficult for China to do business with. Nope, still not relevant. I suspect you're just looking for an outlet to vent frustration related to having lost in Afghanistan. :: shrug ::
