I loved CCW(Great acronym)as well. It really skipedout how the US and especially the saudis only funded the Pashtuns particularly the ones who supported sharia law
at the expense of the Tajiks(The Northern Alliance)who did most of the fighting against the soviets. In fact most of the US and Saudi money went to fighting the Tajiks not the Soviets. Afghanistan never had sharia law before and was considered the most liberal muslim country and a great vacation spot. It even had bars for tourists and women could drive,work and go to school. The Tajiks are the ones doing most of the fighting with our guys against the taliban. I have friends over there who are very impressed with them. They are tough bastards who patrol on flat bed trucks where we only go in tanks.

The head of the Northern Alliance Massoud was murdered by Al Quaida 2 days before sept 11. He was the one guy who probably could have captured Osama. The Pakistani secret service was also terrible for funding the worst sharia law supporting taliban warlords but for different reasons. They wanted the Pashtuns to give up claims to land on their side of the afghan border(there are Pashtuns on either side)for this they used your money and guns.

If it was not for Charlie Wilson and the Saudis there would be no Taliban.
