Why did the mujahedeen revive support even thought they were against some American ideals

The mujahedeen revive support even thought they were against some American ideals because: Mujahedeen promised to protect the oil interest of United States of America. His main purpose or aim was to establish a pro alliance of U. S. He tried to overthrow the communities. U. S viewed the Afghanistan conflict as cold war struggle. It provided the assistance to mujahedeen and his men by providing their intelligence services. This was called as operation cyclone. U. S supported him as their eyes was already on Afghanistan. It provided them all the weapons needed. The main interest of U. S was to get the oil and became even more powerful nation. On the other hand, mujahedeen wanted to spread jihad.
