We created them in order to fight the Soviets. They were losing badly before we got involved and we organized and trained them in guerrilla (terrorist) tactics, funded them, weaponized them and turned them into a pretty fearsome fighting force. The CIA was in charge of this operation, and most of that is common knowledge. The rest is common sense. Do you truly believe that after billions of dollars spent creating Al Queda (which is what they called this organization back then), that after the Soviets were driven out, that they would simply pack up and say goodbye to their new Afhgan friends? That's not the way the CIA works, and anyone who believes that is fooling themselves.

Three weeks after the 9/11 attacks, Anwar Al Awlaki was dining at the Pentagon. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC all reported it. Of course, Alex Jones had been talking about this for weeks before they picked the story up and ran with it. At that time, he was #2 on the list of folks to get or kill, yet he's dining at the Pentagon? When Major Hassan Nidal went on his rampage at Ft. Hood, guess who is "handler" was? Al-Awlaki. The guy in Times Square who tried to detonate a bomb? Al-Awlaki is his handler. The underwear bomber who was escorted on to the aircraft by a US Government official, which story is corroborated by over a dozen witnesses? Al-Awlaki was his handler.

There's a lot more evidence than just Al-Awlaki. It's all over the place, and you can look it up for yourself if you're really interested in finding out.
