Another School Massacre

[signals]

The Mujahadeen do school massacres too?

Are the Mujahadeen giving up their AK-47's?

Only if there is a better and more effective weapon.

You're correct, however they didn't get stingers right away The U.S.-built Stinger antiaircraft missile, supplied to the mujahideen in very large numbers beginning in 1986.

So from 1979 to 1986 with the exception of financial and CIA assistance the Afghan rebels went head to head with the Red Army.

Did you not read the earlier posts and links?

The US along with China, Egypt and others gave weapons to them.

Lets not forget that the Afghan winner was our ally OBL. h34r:

The war didn't "turn" until the Afghans got stingers.

It was the first time since the Soviet invasion seven years earlier that a mujahedeen fighter had destroyed the most feared weapon in the Soviet arsenal, a Hind attack helicopter. The event panicked the Soviet ranks, changed the course of the war and helped to break up the USSR itself.

Not in the beginning they sure as balls didn't.

Three weeks after Soviet tanks rolled into Kabul, Carter's secretary of defense, Harold Brown, was in Beijing arranging for a weapons transfer from the Chinese to the ClA-backed Afghani troops mustered in Pakistan. The Chinese, who were generously compensated for the deal, agreed and even consented to send military advisers. Brown worked out a similar arrangement with Egypt to buy $15 million worth of weapons. "The U.S. contacted me," [then-Egyptian president] Anwar Sadat recalled shortly before his assassination [in 1981]. "They told me, 'Please open your stores for us so that we can give the Afghans the armaments they need to fight.' And I gave them the armaments. The transport of arms to the Afghans started from Cairo on U.S. planes."

By February 1980, the Washington Post reported that the mujahideen was receiving arms coming from the U.S. government

Who went off topic? They now use stingers in hits on kindergarten?

Reading comprehension an issue today? I've said twice now that I was referring to Stinger Missles. Prior to that millions in arms went ito Afghanistan primarily to upgrade their vintage WWI Enfield single shot rifles.

Had it not been for those folks who fought against incredible odds in the beginning the resistance would never have held out long enough or been trusted enough to ever get stingers.

I read Adam Landza used a Stinger at Sandy Hook. MSM failed to report it.

I think he left it in his trunk. Didn't the ME initially report that the exit wounds were caused by stinger missiles?

Heard it on infowars or commieblaster.

Don't look now but OBL was in one of signals' post. Ignore the truth...

OBL was a great friend at one time.....enemy of my enemy is my friend. look at Obama, Egypt and Israel. Obama loves the Muslim Brotherhood.
