Line 230: − − *Former [[Clinton administration]] State Dept. Spokesman Jamie Rubin, husband of CNN’s [[Christiane Amanpour]] emails Hillary:<font color="brown"> − {{Quotebox|Again, congratulations are in order...It is a pleasure to see the State Department again leading the administration on this. Syria, too......the White House doesn’t seem like it cares very much. In general, the [[NSC]] seems uncomfortable with creative applications of American power and influence. And we all know the military and the [[Pentagon]] resist limited military operations, especially airpower-only engagements. So, it must be you and your colleagues at State. Well done. . . . even a small success like the one that is coming in Libya will turn around the steady decline in American influence in the region and around the world. I suspect that you know this, but European elites, Gulf elites, East Europeans and many others regard the Administration as weak.}}</font>

*'''18 July.''' Clinton sends Sec. of State for the Near East Jeffrey Feltman, U.S. ambassador to Libya Gene Cretz, and a senior director at the [[National Security Council]] Derek Chollet, to meet with Gaddafi envoys in Tunis "to deliver a clear and firm message that the only way to move forward, is for Gaddafi to step down". Libyan representatives are confused as to thinking the US had been an ally in fighting the radical Islamic jihadis the Obama administration now was supporting to overthrow Gaddafi.
