I just figured out one of your problems. You don't seem to realize Pakistan and Afghanistan are two different countries.
Selling weapons to Pakistan, including fighter planes (concessions for other CIA assistance, access to bases, borders etc), bribing them with financial AID which was well know to go unaccounted for and giving them money/medicine to deal with the massive refugee camps that spilled over their boarders etc etc etc is not the same as arming and training the Afghan Mujaheddin to confront the Soviet army.
Again, the only real direct substantial aid to Afghan Mujaheddin fighters (which happened progressively over a period of almost a decade) that gave them any sort of edge and only substantial aid enough to change things came very late in the war and in the very end, it was the decision to send Western Stingers that ended the war because by that time the Soviet Union was too weak, too broke and too broken to do anything about it.
But keep going. So far you're learning both history and geography it seems as well as how to use Wikipedia... big day for you!
