I found something very strange and very interesting. Take a look. |

"At its 1984 and 1985 conventions the World Anti-Communist League voted to support the anticommunist mujahedeen rebels in Afghanistan. WACL was very active in the foundation and support of the Committee for a Free Afghanistan (CFA). CFA was founded in 1981 and was given office space at the Heritage Foundation. CFA--directed by retired Major General J. Milnor Roberts, a board member of USCWF--raised large sums of money to purchase arms, ammunition and medical supplies for the mujahedeen. In 1985 WACL, through USCWF, initiated "Project Boots" to bring humanitarian aid to the Afghan resistance. In 1988, General Daniel Graham, vice chair of USCFW, was one of an eight-man delegation that met with President Ronald Reagan in an effort to block the Geneva accords calling for a withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan."
USCWF - US Council for World Freedom -- the US branch of the World Anti-Communist League

6. I thought everyone here already knew OBL was our creation |
|
the real question is... is he still under "our" control?
(and who is "us" in the "our" part of that... PNAC? CIA? the moonies?)

the anti-communist "US Council for World Freedom" sought to block the accords calling for a Soviet withdrawl from Afghanistan?
That is strange and interesting.
Do you suppose it was because the whole point of ensnaring the Russians in Afghanistan was to break the Soviet Union, and it wasn't quite broken yet?
