You're denying that Osama received training from the US. You really are
an ignoramus. Here's a few of numerous articles:

Then stop being a stupid *** and insisting that somehow all our funding
to fight the soviets only ended up going to the Northern Alliance.

Sure and an F-16 isn't a "weapon" either. By that standard almost 100%
of the stuff Bush produced as the basis of going to war wouldn't qualify
as a weapon. Why was Bush so freaked out by remote piloted drones.
Those aren't weapons. Neither is a mobile biological lab. Furthermore,
aluminum tubes and kryton switches aren't weapons either. Neither is
enriched uranium. The fact is that the US funnelled weapons components,
weapons know-how and direct military assistance to Iraq. Your
insistence that only France and Germany were involved in such things is
absurd.

> Cetaintly not *now*, when even sarin gas bombs

An expired sarin shell that only made a few soldiers a little be sick
when they got it all over themselves is certainly not an effective
weapon, nor was there evidence that it belonged to saddam and was
produced after the first gulf war. OTOH, the Bush admin and the rest of
the repug morons who mindlessly support him, learned too late that even
a jet airliner can be a weapon, under the right circumstances. I know
Condiliar Rice said they never imagined that was possible, but
apparently she was just lying as usual.

You've made an ass out of yourself again. Gorbachev very definitely was
making reforms and laying the groundwork for peace with the US by 1985.
Reagan was one of the last western leaders to accept this.

Nope. I just know what I'm talking about and you don't know jack ***
about history or geopolitics. That's why you're a typical clueless
repug.
