re: #547 J.S.

WHAT?! (up here in Canada, I believe it’s been a long established fact that the CIA armed the Taliban, and the most radical ones at that, since the CIA figured that the radical Islamists would be the best fighters to rid Afghanistan of the Soviet presence…I’ve heard this so frequently, it’s practically “a given.” )

The “Taliban”, per se, were a post-1990 phenomenon.
