And at one point they were backed by the Russians.
Or the Nazis.
It is the nature of politicians to back militants whose actions are apparently supportive of their agenda.
Yes, the CIA did provide Al Qaeda with weapons to fight the Russians. But why was Al Qaeda fighting the Russians in the first place?
The assumption that the CIA was interested (Bush Senior was the director of the CIA under Reagan) in some kind of "New World Order" is just playing to buzzwords. The CIA was tasked with protecting America's interests and fighting proxy wars with Russia was the name of the game.
Al Qaeda had different motivations. You'll find them written in a book.
I'm not sure what is more funny.
The fact that you believe you are presenting me with information that I don't know.
Or the fact that you have absolutely no intellectual capacity for understanding the information you do know.

""Smooth sailing" indeed would seem to characterize the early decades of the Ikhwan's Da'wa movement in America. The first official Muslim Brotherhood front organization founded in the U.S. was the Muslim Students Association (MSA), established on the Urbana-Champaign campus of the University of Illinois in 1964. Today, there are over 600 MSA chapters at colleges and universities across North America, working to recruit members to the Muslim Brotherhood and jihad. According to former FBI Special Agent John Guandolo, "The MSA serves as a recruitment tool to bring Muslims into the Brotherhood…[w]hich was its original purpose: to evaluate Muslims and to bring them into the Brotherhood and to recruit non-Muslims into Islam as a dawa entity, giving them the call to Islam."[15] The MSA was the blueprint model for the thousands of Muslim Brotherhood front groups that exist, function, and continue to multiply across the U.S. today.
"The process of settlement is a "Civilization-Jihadist Process" with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions.

You have to understand what we are up against.
Politicians ally with the Muslim Brotherhood for various political reasons (Grover Norquist has been a key figure in planting Muslim Brotherhood figures into the administrations of the White House and its related agencies).
"There is one more document, called simply "The Project," that should be examined in the study of the Brotherhood's expansion into Western society in general, and the U.S. government in particular. A November 2001 raid by Swiss authorities on a villa belonging to Yousef Nada, the Muslim Brotherhood director of the Al-Taqwa bank (which had been funding al-Qa'eda), recovered this 14-page plan, written in Arabic and dated December 1, 1982. "The Project" presents a "flexible, multi-phased, long-term approach to the 'cultural invasion' of the West," according to Patrick Poole, a counterterrorism and Muslim Brotherhood expert. [33] Rather than relying primarily on terrorism, as al-Qa'eda and other kinetic-approach jihadis do, the Muslim Brotherhood opted instead for a progressive infiltration of the very structures of Western society in order to achieve the same end result that al-Qa'eda seeks: Islamic domination over the West."
None of this is, truthfully, anything new.
Similar tactics were used back in the 1000s. There is a reason Vlad the Impaler, within Romania and neighboring regions, is considered a hero.
It's only in the farther west, where the Ottomans were seen as viable economic partners, where Vlad was turned into a villain for their lack of understanding.
That's old news.
The groups Obama is funding, currently, have loosely affiliated memberships that bounce back and forth between the anti-assad movement and the ISIS movement. The equipment follows them, of course - and some completely and totally defect.
Why?
The Muslim Brotherhood has agents within our government that are telling our officials "This will surely stabilize the region. Trust us. Here's a picture of us with Bush. We can't be bad guys."
Of course - then you have Obama, who has said he will back the Muslims over anyone else and who, himself, is sympathetic to the Muslim doctrine of victimization. Hence why the Kurds are not being avidly backed against ISIS, but the notoriously corrupt militants are.
Valarie Jarret is an Iranian - and who are we currently violating the Constitution in order to set up an "agreement to an agreement" over Uranium enrichment? Iran.
You have to understand what Obama's objective is - and it is the same as the Muslim Brotherhood's objective.
They want to bring down all government institutions within the Middle East except for that which is ordained within the Qu'ran and Hadith.
Gee.

Remember when I said: "This stuff doesn't surprise me?"
I meant it. It doesn't surprise me.
This is simplistic reasoning at its finest.
The Muslim Brotherhood has simply convinced the U.S. that they have a plan for peace in the Middle East and our politicians (because we elect people who think islands are going to tip over and sink

) buy into it. They think they have "good muslims" on their side who are well informed about the region's groups and how best to deal with them.
The idea that the muslims recommended to them by trusted Americans are somehow agents of an anti-american agenda is not really one they entertain because they are more concerned with passing laws to find out what is in them and chasing down votes by promising people our grandchildrens' money.
It is also intellectually dishonest to equate the two.
But you'll find that out in time.
America is going to disappear from the world stage for a few years. "Internal Server Error," is the term, I believe.
That is when things will get really fun in Europe and elsewhere.
When America returns, it will be under the Order of the Dragon, and we will burn the death cult from this planet wherever it hides.
Not a "war on terror" - a Trial of Annihilation. There will be no prisoners taken. There will be no hearts or minds left to have won when we leave. The goats will be lucky if they escape judgment.
When that is done, the sword will be sheathed and we will return to our homes to not be bothered.
