Like we ignored Afghanistan for over a decade, while
the Taliban let Bin Laden run terrorist training camps.

Ignored? We financed and armed the Taliban, professor.

Like hell we ever did.

Usama bin Laden was on our CIA payroll for years.

Irrelevant to who financed and armed the Taliban.

It's relevant you pathetic twerp. The very roots
of the Taliban was the armed resistance against
the Soviet Union's occupation of Afghanistan.

Not a ****ing clue, as always. That was the
Mujahidin, you stupid pig ignorant clown.

Good grief, what a moron. The Taliban
was the major faction of the Mujahidin.

Precisely:

Fraid not.

Phase Three
"During this period, the rest of the country was carved
up among the various factions, with many mujahidin
commanders establishing themselves as local warlords.

Pity that was LONG after the russians had been given the
bums rush and the US had financed and armed the mujahidin
to get that to happen, you pathetic excuse for a bull**** artist.

Humanitarian agencies frequently found their offices stripped,
their vehicles hijacked, and their staff threatened. It was
against this background that the Taliban emerged.

Nothing like your pig ignorant claim that 'The
Taliban was the major faction of the Mujahidin'

AND you didnt quote what that cite had to say about the
makeup of the Mujahidin before the Taliban 'emerged'

Former mujahidin who were disillusioned with the chaos that
had followed their victory became the nucleus of a movement that
coalesced around Mullah Mohammad Omar, a former mujahid
from Qandahar province. The group, many of whom were madrasa
(Islamic school) students, called themselves taliban, meaning students."

Nothing like your pig ignorant claim that 'The
Taliban was the major faction of the Mujahidin'

And you carefully didnt quote the bit that said

By October 1994 the movement had attracted the support
of Pakistan, which saw in the Taliban a way to secure trade
routes to Central Asia and establish a government in Kabul
friendly to its interests. Pakistani traders who had long sought
a secure route to send their goods to Central Asia quickly
became some of the Taliban's strongest financial backers.

Nothing whatever there to support your the stupid pig ignorant
claim that the Taliban were 'financed and armed' by the US.

The US had stopped financing and arming anyone once the russians
had crawled away with their tails between their legs, LONG before that.

In September 1995, the Taliban took control of Herat, thereby cutting
off the land route connecting the Islamic State of Afghanistan with Iran.
The Taliban's innovative use of mobile warfare appeared to indicate
that Pakistan had provided vital assistance for the capture of Herat.

Thanks for the completely superfluous proof of
your terminal pig ignorance and flagrant dishonesty.
