That's right I mean Jimmy Carter. How is that possible, well that's where our little history lesson begins....

The United States in an effort to stop Russia from reaching a port in the Middle East (via an Afghanistan invasion) decided to aim it's intelligence agency right at that region.

Worried what might happen to the Arab Peninsula if the Russians succeeded in their invasion the Saudis Funded the Afghan freedom fighters.

Knowing full well that we couldn't let the Russians invade the oil rich Mid East, The Carter Administration jumped in with both feet and feed the Afghan US intelligence via the Pakistani ISI (their version of our CIA). This created an uneasy alliance between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United States.

After the invasion ended what was left was a bunch of Islamic Mercenaries with no credentials literally trapped in Afghanistan with no where to go. We know this group today as Al Qaeda.

Lesson in all of this....:

When you have someone else fight your battles, don't just strand them with no where to go.

Of course that's what the liberals have been doing with the African Americans for years, but that's another blog.
