A top member of the jihadist group that the US government and NATO armed and funded in the overthrow of Colonel Gaddafi back in 2011 is now leading ISIS forces in Libya.

Once again, the growth of ISIS can be traced directly back to our government's insane policy of aiding terrorists who went on to join ISIS after the destabilization of the secular governments of Libya and Syria.

Abdelhakim Belhadj, seen above meeting with Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, was the emir of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), an organization affiliated with Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, which killed U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In 2011, we published articles pointing out that the US and Britain were directly supporting jihadists like Belhadj in an area in Libya which West Point warned was the world capital for Al-Qaeda suicide bomber recruitment.
