The article that you linked says nothing about the US recruiting AQI. I think that you may be confusing Syria during the Obama Administration (when the US did covertly support a variety of jihadis) with earlier times in Iraq. AQI existed in Iraq as a guest of Saddam’s government for at least a decade.
You think the Iraqi government was recruiting allies without our involvement?!
Face it, we use puppet armies just like the Russians. Sorry you have a polyanish view but out here in reality the American government is dishonest and sleazy.
