bin Laden actually distanced himself from the US support efforts.
And the US brought in actual support. We taught the mujaheddin how to hit and run. you know, actually survive encounters with the Soviets. we didn't give them a Semtex vest and to the men and chunk of money to their soon to be widows.
Also, the US stressed hitting military targets, not shopping centers.
Not to mention that Afghanistan was actually a country and not target practice for Egyptian and Syrian ordinance.
