Can you believe the US government is giving money to Islamists?
How enraged are you that our government (The U.S.) is sending sixty million of our hard earned tax dollars to Fatah in the West Bank? Do you think ski-mask-wearing, muslims of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade are entitled to part of your paycheck?
It is shameful what our Government does with OUR money in many, many areas !! The ultimate in contradictory terms: “Government Intelligence” !..interests of the American people, what’s that ??
keep your money we dont need it.Stay away from our country and stop killing people on our borders.Dont intefer in our political matters and dont bother critisizing our culture and traditions.Go on strike or smthin.
From the wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osama_bin_Laden
Robin Cook, former leader of the British House of Commons and Foreign Secretary from 1997-2001, wrote in The Guardian on Friday, July 8, 2005,
Bin Laden was, though, a product of a monumental miscalculation by western security agencies. Throughout the 80s he was armed by the CIA and funded by the Saudis to wage jihad against the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. Al-Qaida, literally "the database", was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians.[43]
However, Peter Bergen, a CNN journalist and adjunct professor who is known for conducting the first television interview with Osama bin Laden in 1997, rejected Cook’s notion, stating on August 15, 2006, the following:
that the CIA funded bin Laden or trained bin Laden—is simply a folk myth. There's no evidence of this. In fact, there are very few things that bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and the U.S. government agree on. They all agree that they didn't have a relationship in the 1980s. And they wouldn't have needed to. Bin Laden had his own money, he was anti-American and he was operating secretly and independently. The real story here is the CIA didn't really have a clue about who this guy was until 1996 when they set up a unit to really start tracking him.[44]
Bergen quotes Pakistani Brigadier Mohammad Yousaf, who ran ISI’s Afghan operation between 1983 and 1987:
It was always galling to the Americans, and I can understand their point of view, that although they paid the piper they could not call the tune. The CIA supported the mujahideen by spending the taxpayers' money, billions of dollars of it over the years, on buying arms, ammunition, and equipment. It was their secret arms procurement branch that was kept busy. It was, however, a cardinal rule of Pakistan's policy that no Americans ever become involved with the distribution of funds or arms once they arrived in the country. No Americans ever trained or had direct contact with the mujahideen, and no American official ever went inside Afghanistan.[45]
Other sources also dispute the notion that the CIA had any contact with non-Afghan mujahideen[46]
Our government gives foreign aid to all sorts of people. Of course we give far more aid to Isreal than we do to any Palestinian party. We were probably were supporting Fatah hoping that Hamas would never get control of the PLO.
Suspend your disbelief and outrage for a moment, and realize that past US governments funded the terrorist now knows as Osama bin-Ladin. Blowback is a bitch, ain’t it?
