During tonight’s presidential debate, Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard said, “This current president is continuing to betray us. We were supposed to be going after al-Qaeda, but over years now, not only have we not gone after al-Qaeda, who are stronger today than they were in 9/11, our president is supporting al-Qaeda.”

I never thought I’d ever hear a presidential candidate ever utter these words, let alone during a primary debate. Not because they’re a lie; quite the contrary! What Gabbard said was the cold, hard truth. Unfortunately, it’s only the tip of the iceberg.

The fact of the matter is that the U.S. govt has a long, historical track-record in supporting al-Qaeda when it served in their interests (re: defeating socialists and communists).

Even more damning, the U.S. govt practically created al-Qaeda (along with the Taliban) when it funded and armed the Mujahideen to topple the secular, socialist People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan from 1979 to 1992.
