### Comment:
That's not even close to true. We provided around 25% of the funding that the Mujaheddin received to fight the Soviets. The vast majority came from private donors. When the Soviets left, the factions of Mujaheddin collapsed into infighting after they failed to establish a government. The result was the Afghan Civil War, which ended with the Taliban seizing control. 
  
 The Taliban was not our pet monster.

### REPLY:
Didn't we do a lot of the training for the Mujaheddin including Obama bin Laden?

### END.
