Secretary Clinton is barred from political engagement.

She doesn't want a return of the disaster resulting from a video. No one can doubt there was a severe reaction in the Middle East against our Consulates due to an irresponsible You Tube Posting.

The jury is still out about the impact the video has on Benghazi. And agency representative was on MSNBC recently stating there could have been an impact on the Benghazi attack by the video. The attack, while well implemented on September 11th, occurred after the reaction in Egypt against the USA Consulate there. The Egypt incident was directly related to the video.

The attack in Benghazi was on the heels of a revolution with a power vacuum and the rise in power of the Salafists. There has been some evidence so the understanding the militia involved was an extremist wing of the Salafists from the attacks in Sirte from the February 11th militia. Sirte was Kaddafi's hometown, where he was found and killed. The intelligence about the Salafists is relatively new. They haven't been a threat to this extent before in the Middle East.


The Salafists have an agenda and it is only taking shape now.

Ya can't make this stuff up. It is real and it is the reality Secretary Clinton faces regularly.
