Bullshit on top of bullshit. That quote isn't even Bandar speaking; it's King paraphrasing what Bandar had just said, which I did quote. Obviously you think you can spin that paraphrasing easier than what Bandar actually said, but "helping bring America to help him" does NOT identify OBL as the "recipient" of a single US dollar. It doesn't even really imply that the US was even aware of OBL, since Bandar had just said who we were actually helping: the Mujahideen! Yes, by supporting the Mujahideen against the Soviets, we "helped" anyone else who opposed the Soviets. But you were supposed to be backing up your claim of "authoritative estimates" that "al Qaeda received tens of billions of dollars in CIA funding over the years." You can't prove that claim because there is not a shred of evidence that it's true. But you don't have the intellectual honesty and courage to admit that, or that Bandar did NOT say OBL received any money from the CIA, and you apparently don't have the common sense to just drop the subject, so you think you can get away with playing word games with "bin Laden was identified (by King!?) as the recipient of the aid." A lie is a pathetic excuse for an argument, "Ace."
