Something that I find interesting about all this: I posted this video on Alex Jones' MySpace page, and emailed them a link to this video. One of Alex's main focal points has been debunking the 9/11 myths, so why hasn't he posted this himself? I would think this would be on the main InfoWars page...why isn't it?

4.- Al Caida or Qaida or however you want to spell it. Is not a U.S. Creation. Another big lie that people are discussing here and there as if it were proven fact. Simply NOT TRUE.
Bin Laden was, though, a product of a monumental miscalculation by western security agencies.
Throughout the 80s he was armed by the CIA and funded by the Saudis to wage jihad against the Russian occupation of Afghanistan.
Al-Qaida, literally "the database", was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians.
Inexplicably, and with disastrous consequences, it never appears to have occurred to Washington that once Russia was out of the way, Bin Laden's organisation would turn its attention to the west.

Gotta pull you up on that one.
Even wikipedia carries a link to the famous quote by former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook stating that the CIA helped to create Al-Qaida during the Afghan war against Russia:

At the end of the day I guess it just depends on what you want to believe

To say that Bin Laden in the "80s was armed by the CIA and funded by the Saudis to wage jihad against the Russian occupation of Afghanistan."
DOESN´T MEAN HE WAS A CIA ASSET. DOES IT? It means he and the mujahedeen received arms from the CIA, THAT´S WHAT IT MEANS.
Financing was from Saudi origin, not even american.
It is A KNOWN HISTORIC FACT THAT BIN LADEN DID NOT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CIA OR AMERICA. HE ALLWAYS HAD HATE FOR THEM. HE ACTUALLY THREATENED A CIA ASSET HE WOULD KILL HIM ON SIGHT WHEN THEY WERE ATTEMPTING TO CONTACT HIM.
