They owed us one and knifed us in the back.

Actually, they didn't. If you look at the Afghanistan Uncivil War, the victors were the Taliban, which were a new faction, created by ISI and they defeated the mujahedeen commanders that the USA used to support. As of the whole Al-Kaida thing? That is all on the Saudi Arabia and Quattar, who are beyond reproach.

former. we provided training and equipment to the Mujahedeen back when the Soviets were trying to control Afghanistan. We did it because we had just pulled out of Vietnam and realized how awful it was to get stuck in a quagmire. Naturally this meant we should get our enemies stuck in one. we of course forgot this a few decades later. but yeah we armed a bunch of rebels and when the most extreme ones armed with guns ended up in charge and and decided to strike at us we were really surprised.

As Zbigniew Brzezinski later said "What's more important: A few stirred-up Muslims or the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union?"

Providing some training and weapons decades ago doesn't turn all members of the organization into "American agents" for all eternity

But that doesn't make him an agent. More an a convenient proxy. Similar to the current situation of Kurds and "moderate rebels" in Syria.

It is not just his work with the Taliban, it is also his close connections with the ruling circles in Saudi Arabia and potential connections with Saudi intelligence agents in 9/11, and the fact that the CIA failed to take him out on numerous occasions and that the Saudis let him get off the hook for a number of stupid stunts he pulled, he was basically exiled for being something of a dissident.

He was also killed in Pakistan, and Pakistan was at the time a US proxy in the area.

TBH I always suspected 9/11 of being covertly backed by the Pakistanis, maybe even China.

The whole mess with bin Laden just proved the CIA is incompetent.

CIA being incompetent in non-technological aspects of their work is hardly an unusual thing.
Pakistan always had its own games with Taliban and Islamists, all more or less related to their conflict with India and their own Pashtun borderlands. And they continue to have them after USA has left Afghanistan, because they still have unstable borderlands and they still don't like India.

And they are the property of China and the Saudis.
Hence the fact that bin Laden was hiding there, probably with the help of the ISI/Pakistan Army is quite suspicious.

Also, the Taliban were one of the primary proxies for Pakistan and the Saudis in that area, with most of them coming from Madrasas in Pakistan.
And after the US invasion IMHO holding on to bin Laden would have been very dangerous and I am pretty sure that the Taliban would have preferred to distance themselves from AQ and bin laden, so that points to him possibly being an agent of Pakistan or of somebody in SA with enough clout to push them to keep him safe.
Probably a dissident faction, the type his relatives might have been involved with.

As to the CIA, well, they can still organize messed up color revolutions and try and go after Trump, but little else.

Implying they are both willing and united enough to be anyone's obedient property. Their internal politics around ISI, military, islamists and so on are crazy.

Yeah, but they need money, they despise India so need an alliance with China, and the religious zealots among them are influenced by Saudi-backed wahhabists.

Wow. That's pretty ballsy of Scott.

I know the left doesn't like him already but they're gonna go after him if he keeps bringing stuff up they'd rather have buried. Especially in all the newspapers he's in.

 

[Zachowon]

HAHAHAHA.
Thinking any militant Islamic group is controlled.
By themselves maybe.
Taliban are punching above thier weight to scare Russia into giving them money.
They are having a border dispute with Pakistan.

No middle eastern country likes each other and will gladly get paid to backstabbing another.
