What does Bosnia have to do with Osama Bin ?

Only socialist bankers will be bailed out Lyle. They may even be banking on that bailout.

Socialism in America only goes as far as the corporations. Almost no homeowners will be bailed out.
God you are just horrible to argue with.

Reagan had the IRAN/Contra scandal....where would Bin Laden fit in there? Bin Laden is a Sunni therefore it would have had to been a SAUDI ARABIA/Contra scandal for Reagan to give Bin Laden weapons....however I wouldn't doubt that the US did supply them during the USSR's war with Afghanistan but at that point in time no one knew who Bin Laden was or what he was about. Those were cases of your enemy's enemy is your friend and it didn't work out the way we wanted it to but hey there is no more USSR anymore now is there?

Now Bill Clinton gave weapons to AL QUEDA which is a Sunni terrorist group run by OSAMA BIN LADEN amongst others. Al Queda helped the ethnic Albanians in the fighting in Bosnia and Kosovo.

The American people were given a glimpse of what Bin Laden was all about when Oliver North testified before Congress.

And America gets you into ONE war and you're bitching and moaning about it non stop! America has been drug into more wars because of England and France than we can count....so you can't take some of your own medicine? Pussy
I'm horrible to argue with because I'm always right and so for somebody like you who is relentlessly wrong about everything I'm difficult to argue with.
Reagan gave Osama Bin untold millions and huge quantities of arms and training to set up his organisation in Afghanistan. Al Qaeda means "the base" or more accurately "the database" because the original list of Arabs who went to Afghanistan to fight jihad under Osama Bin became the founding members of AQ.

Reagan also dealt with Iran, who we're constantly told are a terrorist nation and the "central bankers of terrorism." Lumpy-faced nutjob and 2008 presidential candidate John McCain is claiming today that Iran are currently training Al Qaeda. We're also constantly told that no democracy and especially not America ever negotiates with terrorists yet Ronald Reagan did just that, trading them arms for hostages then lying about it to the American people.

Here's actual evidence to back that up from Ronnie's own mouth :

Let's start with the part that is the most controversial. A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not.

The Reagan Information Page:Speeches:Iran-Contra.


I'm sure you can back up your claims that Clinton gave AQ weapons.


And the US has been involved in over 80 foreign interventions just since WW2. Nearly two a year. Of the world's 190 countries the US has military bases in 130 of them, so don't go pretending that you really spend your time peacefully minding your own business.
