Well, of course they exist...but your timeline, and the motives you ascribe for their establishment are highly suspect.

It's not my timeline. What's suspect is why the US had targetted Afghanistan before the 9/11 attacks. That they had is established fact.

Yeah, we knew it was a breeding ground for terrorists long before 9-11...but that still doesn't make your case...not even close.
