I maintain that Jeffrey Feltman (a representative of Zionism in the US administrations of Bush and Obama--but not the only one of course) is responsible for the embrace of Salafites by US foreign policy. It can be argued that he started that policy back in 2005 when he served as the mid-wife of March 14 in Lebanon: the coalition under his own supervision embraced the inclusion of Salafites in order to use against Hizbullah. Jeffrey Feltman's children in Tripoli have been hoisting Al-Qa`idah's flag and they set KFC on fire.
