Charlie Wilson en.wikipedia.org had a tale so fabulous that the dim-witted Ronald Reagan swallowed the entire thing.

Ronald Reagan and Charlie Wilson funded the leaders of the Mujahideen (Jihad Warriors) to recruit and arm thousands or Jihadis, the most famous being Osama bin-Laden. He even gave them advanced Stinger missiles to shoot down aircraft and Seals to train them in the latest battle techniques. The Afghan Jihadi were very well-practiced by the time George W. sent out troops there.
