Alex Jones: Said the US Military are Friends with Terrorist?

In the 1980s the Soviet Union entered Afghanistan to assist the communist revolution that had started there and was facing a lot of internal opposition. Many foreign muslims, including Osama bin Laden, entered Afghanistan to fight against the atheist Soviets/Afghan communists. They called themselves the "mujahideen"- which translates to jihadists, or more loosely- holy warriors. Since America was in the middle of a global anti-communist war, the Cold War, the CIA armed the mujahideen since we were both fighting the same enemy. The Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan in 1989 and the USSR collapsed later that year, after losing the common enemy, our interests and that of the mujahideen began to diverge and we stopped being "friends."
