Why do you think they were leaving?Camel crap. The Soviets were leaving Afghanistan at just about the same time Bin Laden was establishing al Qaeda (to fuck with the Americans).
Do you follow me so far?The story of bin Laden is the story of the secret CIA/ISI insurgent camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan. According to Prof. Michel Chossudovsky, Osama was 22 years old in 1979, when he was trained in a CIA sponsored guerilla training camp near Peshawar, Pakistan.
Bin Laden family was put in charge of raising money for the Islamic brigades. Numerous charities and foundations were created. The operation was coordinated by Saudi intelligence, headed by Prince Turki al-Faisal, in close liaison with the CIA. The money derived from the various charities was used to finance the recruitment of Mujahedeen volunteers. Al Qaeda, the base in Arabic was a data bank of volunteers who had enlisted to fight in the Afghan jihad. That data base was initially held by Osama bin Laden.
Que pasa, mutha?The database of Islamic fighters that was collected by the program was labeled n Arabic, Q eidat ilmutiaat, which is the exact translation of the English word database. But the Arabs commonly used the short word Al Qaida which is the Arabic word for base.
Woo.
Chossudovsky and his Global Security website? You're kidding, right?
Don't you ever check your sources?
"In a 2006 op-ed by Terry O'Neill in the conservative Canadian news magazine, Western Standard, Chossudovsky was included on the list of "Canada's nuttiest professors, those whose absurdity stands head and shoulders above their colleagues...
Specifically, the op-ed referred to GlobalResearch.ca as "anti-U.S. and anti-globalization"[28] and criticized Chussodovsky's thesis and views namely: that the U.S. had knowledge of the 911 attacks before they happened; that Washington had weapons that could influence climate change; and lastly, that the large banking institutions are the cause of the collapse of smaller economies as "wild-eyed conspiracy theories".
