samcdkey, the Taliban didn't exist until 1994, and they overthrew the Legitimate Afghan government in 1996. http://www.tkb.org/Group.jsp?groupID=4279 So it was never possible for the U.S. to have supported the Taliban. and the Taliban was not friendly with the Mujahideen, interesting what you find when you do a little research.
So are the US supporting the Mujahideen (mujahideen=ones who do jihad)?Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! And aren't the Taliban (student) the products of the Carter funded madrassas?Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Google Taliban Carter and 1979
samcdkey, the Taliban didn't exist for the U.S. to support in Afghanistan, during the Soviet Invasion, and in the Google that you ask me to do the Taliban is not mentioned once in the body of the story, the only time that the Taliban is mention is in the title, and from what I read in the article the title doesn't match up to the article.
The US only helped the afghan people in their fight against the soviets. What the situation is now, 20 years later , is simply ironic. There is no relation to it from before. The US has an unbelievable record for involving itself in things at peculiar positions. But please, do not under any circumstance think that the States supported the Afghans (pre-now taliban) for any other reason than to hopefully defeat their numero uno target , the Soviets .
samcdkey, a lot of those articles mention the Taliban, but there is one problem, the support that was offered by Carter was to the Mujahideen, and no mention of the Taliban as a separate entity occurs until 1994, and to me it is a interesting fact that the Pakistani government is involved in the sending of the Taliban into Afghanistan, I would love to see the report of the Intelligence community of Pakistan and what might have been really going on? a very interesting revelation in the article I posted.
For that matter, the afghan's could have been Nazi's and the states would have backed them up against the soviets!
Doesn't matter how thinly you slice it, its still baloney. The Taliban are the mujahideen, a splinter group that broke away for political reasons. But they are still Pashtuns trained in the madrassas funded by Carter/Reagan. The Northern Alliance is also the Mujahideen. Just on the opposite side of the fence politically at present.
Which Pakistanis? The Pashtuns supporting their brethren the Taliban or the puppets of the US who are in power?Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
So I guessed right the Pakistanis had motives in the best interest of their own country. Harrison who is now senior fellow with The Century Foundation recalled a conversation he had with the late Gen Zia-ul Haq of Pakistan. "Gen Zia spoke to me about expanding Pakistan's sphere of influence to control Afghanistan, then Uzbekistan and Tajikstan and then Iran and Turkey," Harrison said. That design continues, he said. Gen. Mohammed Aziz who was involved in that Zia plan has been elevated now to a key position by Chief Executive, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, Harrison said.
samcdkey, again no mention of the Taliban in the body of the story, other than in the connection with Pakistan and some speculation of a link with the CIA, with no evidence being presented, and Carter isn't even mentioned in the story.
Guess you don't read the links. Gen Zia ul Haq? http://www.omnicenter.org/warpeacecollection/dictators.htm
And what does that have to do with the Taliban? again you refer to a time period when the Taliban didn't exist, it is clearly stated that the first mention of a organization called the Taliban was in 1994, they didn't exist until then and they over threw the legitimate government of Afghanistan with apparent help from the Pakistanis, so you still haven't proven what you claim happened, so far all of your sites show that the Taliban didn't come into existence until 1994. And you still haven't posted anything showing the President Carter funded Madras's for the Taliban. You just tried to change the subject again.
