"In 1994, a new group, the Taliban (Pashtun for "students"), emerged on the scene. Its members came from madrassas set up by the Pakistani government along the border and funded by the U.S., Britain, and the Saudis, where they had received theological indoctrination and military training."

"In terms of ISI's power, it ... was enormously expanded during the jihad, when you had [a] huge flow of resources via the CIA, which was ISI's counterpart into Pakistan" -- Peter Tomsen
"Tomsen served as President George H.W. Bush's special envoy and ambassador to the Afghan resistance from 1989 to 1992. Here he lays out the historical background of the Taliban's rise to power and its relationship with Pakistani intelligence, known by its acronym ISI."

Just because someone was our friend then doesn't mean they are now. The opposite applies also. Look at Germany, Italy, and Japan.

hah...
"theological indoctrination" from the cia.... yes I'm sure they told them to stone women and cleanse the lower ethnic classes. there is no doubt the cia funded the taliban, that however was back what with carter and Reagen, it was our chance to give payback to the Russians for Vietnam. you can look back now at the consequences of that, but what if we never did fund the mujh back then, what would it be like now? would saudia arabia also have fallen to communism. the point is you can criticize all you want but there is always potential blow back for every situation
besides did you forget who was president when the taliban came to power in 94 and harbored terrorist!?! yeah a liberal
and why do you figure every republican watches fox news and oreily?? he's got like what 3 million viewers a night, when lets say nearly half the nation is republican. personally i think he's pretty ignorant
