Don't quote me on this... But I think that I heard CNN say that the anti-aircraft rockets that the Taliban are using were given to the Taliban to fight the Soviet Union back in the day. So, America f*cked themselves over with that if this is true.

It's true, but they weren't given specifically to the Taliban, but to the Afghan fighters at the time. The Soviets were around during the late 1980s, and early 1990s. So the Taliban weren't even in Afghanistan at the time, most were still in Pakistan. The Taliban didn't even become a real issue until 1995. So yes the anti-aircraft rockets that the Taliban are using today were from America, but they weren't specifically issued to the Taliban.
