The verb "create" is a tough one in that sentence but it's clear, again from Kaplan's reporting, that we funded groups which were opposed to our longer term goals in the interests of our alliance with Pakistan.

Neither the first nor the last time we've pursued short-term goals in our foreign policy...but hardly equivalent to the CIA "creating" the Taliban.
