Can you say American funding of Hussein in the first place?

Funding? I mean by all accounts we did help, no one in their right mind would say otherwise. But it was politically convient and in our interest to hook him up. Besides by all accounts the French and Germans did a much better job then us.

Can you say America's funding of Ossama Bin-Laden?

I'm calling bullshit on this. We funded Pakistan. They in turn funded the Mujahadeen. It was not like we were cutting checks to OBL himself.
