Anniversaries That The Right Doesn't Seem To Celebrate Anymore - March 21, 1983
Proclamation 5034—Afghanistan Day, 1983
By the President of the United States of America, 21 March 1983
"The tragedy of Afghanistan continues as the valiant and courageous Afghan freedom fighters [The Taliban] persevere in standing up against the brutal power of the Soviet invasion and occupation."
President Ronald Reagan simply loved the Taliban in 1983!
He loved them so much that the USA flooded them with as many weapons and ammunition as they could handle ... (hoping they'd shoot them at the Soviet Union). However, things didn't quite work out the way the Republican government wanted them to!
ONE LAST THOUGHT:
It is entirely possible that Canadian soldiers have been killed by weapons that were given to the Taliban by the US Republican government of Ronald Reagan!
These are the kind of news items and facts that FOX News will NEVER tell their viewers! How are you doing Tom??

Is that not something? Saddam Hussein was a CIA man before he became President of Iraq. Reagan funded the war Saddam carried out against Iran for 8 years. Rest of the story you know.

If that isn't bad enough, the CIA financed Osama bin Laden with $30 million to help him start Al Qaeda to commit terrorist acts against the USSR.
Not quite. They funded him as a guerrilla against the Russian ARMY in Afghanistan, not against Russian civilians in Russia. Big difference.
That said, no one should be at all surprised by this unless they really don't understand how the world works. Nations don't have 'friends'...they have interests. During the Cold War, Russia was the enemy. During the Iraq/Iran war, it was Iran. Later, it became Iraq that was a threat to US interests. Tomorrow, it will be someone else...
