Step-by-step explanation:
The policy of financing and arming guerrillas like Osama Bin Laden continued under the presidencies of Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush.
Under President Carter, the United States continued arming the Islamist insurgents, known as the mujahedeen, who fought against the pro-Soviet Afghan regime.
During President Reagan's administration, the Reagan administration provided weapons and money to the Contras in Nicaragua.
Under President George W. Bush, the United States launched an invasion of Afghanistan and formed alliances with tribal leaders and the Afghan Northern Alliance to remove the Taliban from power and capture members of Al Qaeda, including Osama Bin Laden.
