Actually back in the Cold War the CIA assisted the Mujhadeeen when the Soviets invaded Afhganistan since the Soviet Union was an enemy of the US back then. We sent them everything from weapons to Special Forces advisers to help them out. Course people like Osama Bin Laden rose out of that group with the Taliban, many which used to be trained by our own forces.
