I think it has been widely reported that Osama was one of the early leaders of the Mujahadeen - in fact, that is where he got started - and he ended up with many of the Stinger missiles that brought down the Soviet choppers. No doubt, the Northern Alliance also had access to the Stinger missiles. There was a "feud" between the two groups which led to the assassination of the N/A leader just days before 9/11. And would any of it have happened if Reagan and Bush had not withdrawn from Afghanistan?
