you know, the 15-25% fighters that somehow turned into the ISIS? and this is an overall discussion on arming these 15-25% fighters, which include Al Qaeda fighters.

for libya, if you look up these sections and corresponding references:

and citation numbers '46' / '47' etc

most likely a thorough read of the entire page and corresponding citations will give you a clearer view of how badly the entire operation was messed up, considering the region is now in the throws of a civil war, including the 'ISIS' group claiming to use libya as a gateway into europe.
