CIA trained and funded 1993 wtc bombers
From the terror timeline, citing mainstream sources
Quote:
Amazing how they happen to have CIA links just like the ISI links to Atta. This was an inside job. |

I cannot see your post, and that is fine, but I hope this is completely different from your "FBI" funds the 1993 WTC bombers.

Here's a link to Ramzi Yousef that might debunk this bit of non-sense.

The United States made a strategic decision to support Islamic radical Mujahadeen against the Soviet Union. At the time, the USSR was the Evil Empire and had the power to nuke the world 20 times over. Helping the Muslims defeat the Soviet invasion, and thereby possibly preventing a further Soviet incursion into the Middle East, may have been a good decision. The enemy of our enemy was out friend, and at the time, the Soviets were our enemy and the Muslims were our friends.
The USSR also made allies of convenience. It is unfortunate that our former allies our now are enemy..but what should we have done? Let the USSR over-run Afghanistan? |

So, basically, according to one article, an unnamed intelligence source claims that the CIA funded and trained a certain mujahedeen faction in Afghanistan to fight the soviets. A number of the 1993 World Trade Center bombers apparently originated from that same faction.

Well, if you try to click the link to the Herald article it gives you a Ghostbusters circle, and says it links to a headline entitled "Sources Claim CIA Aid Fueled Trade Center Blast."
That sounds like something that's never been verified by the "mainstream media" beyond "sources." Where's the follow-up that shows the evidence? Oh I forgot, the only time the mainstream media has reliability is when they report things without evidence. That's the way "telling the truth" is done by you guys. |

I have access to that article, and Revolutionary91 is misrepresenting it (surprise). The statement regarding the CIA is:

All claims in that article are by the "unnamed sources", no corroborating documentation. Rev, do you have anything to support this other than hearsay? ETA: Also, Rev's link puts statements in the article wildly out of order and context. Again, no surprise. Rev, I strongly suggest you learn how to find primary sources, and verify the information you are given. |

Rev91, here you can read up on the Afghan War:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_...vement_and_aid By the way, during the Second World War USA was in an alliance of convenience with the Soviet Union against their common enemy Nazi Germany. USA provided the Soviet Union with enormous amounts of supplies. The Soviet army drove to Berlin in American trucks. But as soon as Germany was defeated that alliance of convenience almost instantly turned in to the Cold War. This is no different. History is filled with former allies turning on each other. |

Good point. It does emphasize the fact that Rev91 should not be using such sites for quotes unless he can either independently verify their accuracy, or unless he can trace them back to the primary sources. Without that double-checking, his evidence will always be suspect. |

Right. So how does this show that the bombing was an inside job, I wonder?

Rev still believes that 9/11 was an "inside job"? Here's what I think:

heh, if it was a conspiracy everytime the CIA trained a revolutionary group only to have them turn around and stab the US in the back..... Just take a short look at the history of Central America. Throughout the 1950-70's the US was helping rebels depose one AHTPLD* only to have the guy they replaced him with turn out to be an even bigger AHTLD.

they really are pre 9/11 truther who trained them
You are spam, this is already a thread. Darn, are you a kid or something. Wake up spam man.
I think truthers help the idiots for the first bombing. The bomb was not big enough. They rented a van, and one of the smart truthers went back to get a refund on the rent. Smart terrorist had to have help from a fact less truther, you know someone like you who starts threads already in progress. |

Despite whether or not there is any veracity to this information (Which it seems there isn't. What is this for you now Rev, strike 142?), its posting is just another classic example of how Truthers cherry-pick what they want from sources they otherwise decry as biased, uninformed, or in some other way compromised.
Because main stream media is nothing more than an arm of the NWO whose sole purpose is to spread their lies and propaganda, right? Well, unless of course they report something that Truthers can torture into supporting their claims, in which case everything they say is the absolute truth. |
