Perhaps you misunderstood what Clinton says, she speaks of US support for the ISI (Pakistani intelligence), she doesn't mention "ISIS".

Of course, this Clinton speech is about the well-known fact that the US, in cooperation with the ISI, recruited Wahhabi extremists to fight in Afghanistan (and thus created al-Qaeda, in case you didn't know that either). In this CONTEXT, she mentions that "you reap what you sow" and "I mean, let's remember here: the people we are fighting today, we funded". And that's exactly what Mimi Al-Laham is referring to.
