We know the connection between bin laden and the CIA through the mujaheddin during the soviet afgan war.
Yet how did he become leader of this group? how did he become so well connected? Was it just oil money?
In the late 80s his name came up in senate hearings as to the justification for enhanced security, officials openly said that he was a threat to the US. 4 years later he would do his first failed attack on the world trade center.
Hindsight is 20/20. Why was nothing done to stop him back in the 80s? Was it just incompetence, or was he an agent doing exactly what he was told to do?
It is very convenient that a brand new post soviet threat would just magically show up shortly after the fall of the soviet union,one we know all about too! Perhaps our own government created Islamic terrorism, so that they would have justification for their department's continued existence. Part of the problem with a military industrial complex/espionage industrial complex is that it makes money off of problems, and if there are no problems, then it will not be making any money....

United Soviet States of Russia. So does that not make them Russian? Or are you a part of the Russia did it agenda and dont like hearing that we should ally with them still?

Holy fuck, is this trolling?
The fact that all communists weren't Russian makes it not Russian.
Yep, you got me. That's why I'm fighting in favor of a US/Russian alliance; it's all a trick to make you think I don't want one.
