I don't see a dollar amount, or anything in that quote that says that the USA gave money to Osama bin Laden.
Dont need a dollar amount. Most was old military equipment such as the old Sting missiles that the batteries were dead on. They had to hook em up to car batteries to fire. Dangerous that.And , although it might not have been directly to bin Laden it was directly to the Mujahideen - bin Laden's Freedom Fighters.
But for the President elect )not President yet) to not declare his moment by moment activities to the press, SHAME ON HIM...
The Mujahideen was not Al Quedia nor was it the Taliban and the items were supplied because the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. When the Soviets left Bin Laden wanted the US to support him / his groups to consolidate power in Afghanistan. When the US declined we went on his hate list.
Trying to link the US to Bin Laden in the manner you are attempting is disingenuous and ignores facts.

Yeah im familiar with history which is why I corrected your statement. Your statement and what they morphed into are incompatible with your explanation.
Stop trying to rewrite history.

The liberals I know on other social sites aren't talking about this. The conservatives are though. They're cheering Trump's "hideaway steak dinner" or something. They're hooping and hollering about it.
It's strange. I don't understand the big deal?
None of us who lean to the left care if Don wants a steak. We're more concerned with him installing the 1% in the White House. Why would corporations and the elite buy the government when it can just be given away?

I completely agree, this is the harsh reality that this country has become, I mostly blame it on the MSM for complete dishonesty and extreme bias, specifically with Hillary and demonizing Trump, it's thanks to the MSM we have braindead idiots violently protesting.

Interesting... You sure have no issues pushing it.
Your fallacy with the Muhajiden, Bin Laden and support. Just because the MSM pushes propaganda doesn't mean you have to buy it, let alone repeat it. The issues with the media are going to continue to get worse as their temper tantrum over trumps victory grows. We dont need the issues blurred with false info.
