Again,
Its not a fact that everything the Rebels in Afghanistan used came from the CIA. It is of course widely reported that the Stinger Anti-Aircraft rocket was provided to the Afghan rebels. Beyond that though, its difficult to name any US weapons that were in the use of Afghan rebels. In nearly all documentary footage, Afghan rebels are shown with AK-47s not M-16s, and RPGs not the Dragon or US grenade launchers. Of course the US helped, but not to the extent that the media suggest.
Also, Bin Laden was primarily a business man who supplied money during the war for the rebels, not a famous military figure that many in the media have claimed him to be. In fact, Bin Laden was only involved in maybe four battles during the entire Soviet Occupation of Afghanistan. He only only played a very minor role.
