No, this is a common misconception. The Mujahedeen which the US funded overthrew the Soviet-backed Afghan government, and were themselves overthrown by the Pakistani-backed Taliban in the early-mid-1990s, and many Mujahedeen continued resistance against the Taliban up until the US invasion in 2001.
