Oh, yea, I remember.

Remember when he started droning civilians all over the Middle East anyway, just because they might have been linked to Al-Qaeda?

The same Al-Qaeda US supported and trained a couple decades before that.

Afaik US funding went to the afghan mujahideen not arab volunteers. Do you have evidence suggesting otherwise?

Al-Qaeda was formed after the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, the US did not support and train al-Qaeda as such.

If you're going to make claims with such authority, please have the correct information. Sure Al-Qaeda was formed after the Soviet withdrawal, but it consisted of very members that US and Pakistan (ISI) helped in their fight against Soviet union, including Osama Bin Laden.
