News voice over 1980: “US National Security
Advisor Brzezinski flew to Pakistan to set about rallying resistance.
He wanted to arm the Mujahideen without revealing America's role. On
the Afghan border near the Khayber Pass, he urged the Soldiers of God
to redouble their efforts”
Brzezinski 1980: “We know of their deep belief in God, and we are
confident that their struggle will succeed. That land over there, is
yours, you'll go back to it one day, because your fight will prevail,
and you'll have your homes and your mosques back again; because your
cause is right; God is on your side.” [enthusiastic clapping by the
Mujahideens]
Brzezinski 1990s in the studio speaking to the PBS interviewer:
“... [garbled] coordinated with the Pakistanis will be to make the
Soviets bleed, for as much, as long, as possible.”

Interview to Le Nouvel Observateur (French) - translated by William Blum

Excerpt:
Interview of Zbigniew Brzezinski Le Nouvel Observateur (France), Jan 15-21, 1998, p. 76*
Q: The former director of the CIA, Robert Gates, stated in his
memoirs ["From the Shadows"], that American intelligence services began
to aid the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan 6 months before the Soviet
intervention. In this period you were the national security adviser to
President Carter. You therefore played a role in this affair. Is that
correct?
Brzezinski: Yes. According to the official version of history, CIA
aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the
Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly
guarded until now, is completely otherwise: Indeed, it was July 3, 1979
that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the
opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote
a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion
this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention.
Q: Despite this risk, you were an advocate of this covert action.
But perhaps you yourself desired this Soviet entry into war and looked
to provoke it?
Brzezinski: It isn't quite that. We didn't push
the Russians to intervene, but we knowingly increased the probability
that they would.
Q: When the Soviets justified their intervention by asserting that
they intended to fight against a secret involvement of the United
States in Afghanistan, people didn't believe them. However, there was a
basis of truth. You don't regret anything today?
Brzezinski: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent
idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap
and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially
crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter: We now have the
opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost
10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government,
a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the
breakup of the Soviet empire.
Q: And neither do you regret having supported the Islamic [], having given arms and advice to future terrorists?
Brzezinski:
What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the
collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the
liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?
Q: Some stirred-up Moslems? But it has been said and repeated: Islamic fundamentalism represents a world menace today.
Brzezinski:
Nonsense! It is said that the West had a global policy in regard to
Islam. That is stupid. There isn't a global Islam. Look at Islam in a
rational manner and without demagoguery or emotion. It is the leading
religion of the world with 1.5 billion followers. But what is there in
common among Saudi Arabian fundamentalism, moderate Morocco, Pakistan
militarism, Egyptian pro-Western or Central Asian secularism? Nothing
more than what unites the Christian countries.

This documentary is bogus and constructed on half-truths and imperial axioms - but the fresh interview with Brzezinski is interesting. It is like asking Hitler while he is still inebriated with the hubris of world-government, what's the truth of the matter regarding Operation Canned Goods, for as Hitler had candidly observed to his Generals in Bavaria:
