Hillary Clinton admits USA created al-Qaida

The US Secretary of State has  had the guts to go public with the non-secret about her country's game-playing in the Middle East. More or less - just as the US set up and supported Saddam while he did what he was told and didn't try to set up shop on his own account, so they did with the Resistance in Afghanistan under Russia's invasion. Any casual look at what happens to a group of men who bond in extreme circumstances would have made it easy to fortell what would happen when Russia, having done its damage, was defeated and withdrew. As GIs and airmen, unable to conform to civilian life surrounded by people who had not shared their experiences in WWII, formed the Hell's Angels, so the Mujahedin became al-Qaida. And in their circumstance there was even more reason to keep on, as their country remained under intrusion, now from the West instead of the North. Graham Greene may have been attacking the chess-board approach to international politics in The Third Man, but the  blueprint prevailed, put into action by Henry Kissinger and several American  presidents,  leaving a messy legacy.
