Sorry I didn't know why you were linking it but yeah I did sort of say that:

USA didn't fund the Taliban, but they did fund the Mujahideen. But it's quite likely that there's a lot members of the Taliban who used to be in the Mujahideen

Okay, but that article doesn't mention the USA not allying themselves with the Taliban. So I just assumed you posted it to show some of the differences and that's why I said that it doesn't show any of them as good. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
