Ya they fucked up by invading Iraq but then Obama/Clinton fucked up even more by getting rid of Gaddafi.
ISIS gained real power from post Gaddafi Libya.
Libya was a huge breeding ground for Islamic terrorists after Gaddafi was gone.
Fracturing of Libya
The consequences of Libya's collapse could not be starker. As we have seen in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and elsewhere, the fracturing of Libya and the absence of the rule of law has allowed violent Islamist extremist groups, particularly the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group (ISIL) and al-Qaeda, to thrive there.
Libya also serves as a major recruiting ground for foreign fighters from elsewhere in the region, particularly Tunisia, Algeria and Egypt, who continue to flock there to fight. Some ISIL recruitment videos have even instructed aspiring foreign fighters in the region to travel to Libya instead of its besieged positions in Syria and Iraq.
