Of national security analysis that was given to her.
Is you know well define incensed that she she said -- you have to say.
She did not commands a lie for the American public knowing that it is but on the other hand.
There was an assessment made in Washington.
Prior to that in the next few hours after the attack stating clearly that this was a terrorist attack by armed people so.
In between -- still there is a put -- good decision.
Not to tell the truth as to what happened on the ground for political reasons so.
That is something that you know ambassador rice cannot get piled up because that would be an analysis and the future looking at everything that happened before.
And it would happen in congress and that is not something that's gonna change -- decision by congress.
Doctor I know that in Washington DC there is a view.
Strongly held by many.
That a parallel view of the universe although -- I'm I'm related to the one in which we live.
If authorized by legitimate government authority therefore it is correct.
It is out of view that most of us living well way out here in America.
Actually can support or agree with.
The ambassador.
She is likely to be the next national security advisor to the president she -- remain if you will on his -- team.
Who will be secretary of state.
Really we don't know I have known names in mind but.
Definitely the next secretary of state needs to have a very good understanding of the region -- all regions from North Korea all the way to Libya.
But -- what's happening now -- little.
In Egypt -- earthquake -- is gonna begin as of tomorrow with the passing of a referendum.
Would be seven war and Syria would be unfinished business between Gaza and Israel.
With the possibility and the next year or so that Iran's gonna -- us I am nuclear now.
The next secretary of state needs to be one was very much well educated on what's happening otherwise -- -- end up with much bigger.
Ben Ghazi problems.
There you mentioned the they have a constitutional referendum tomorrow.
It will take some time for -- to.
To fully develop -- say with support for our president -- series.
Our judgment as to water that constitutions should look like will -- prevail will be at the end of the process.
Possess the powers that -- claim for himself two weeks ago but which he has since relinquished.
Unfortunately my -- there's going to be yes.
President -- of Egypt has whether -- -- the opposition broke into pieces.
One coalition is saying we need to go and send a strong message of no to the referendum.
But then the other part of the opposition saying no we want to boycott so now they've.
They are divided the result was going to be that the most -- government of Egypt mr.
-- C is gonna most likely win in this referendum.
Now on the other hand the opposition is very strong in Egypt is no return to the previous situation.
So what I project in the future is that Morse is gonna win -- referendum.
Tried to establish an Islamist state.
And you're gonna see a very strong opposition for months and months to come to that regime -- -- Moving quickly to Syria as we wrap up here professor.
Russia today walking back those comments that have been quoted both from the -- and also from the deputy foreign minister basically saying that they -- acknowledged that does -- has been losing power.
And that his departure as a foregone conclusion subway now they're talking about strong support for -- And they're making it very clear that they firmly support his regime.
They cannot Russians cannot let go of -- had until he actually -- because he is a major -- to ban.
He is an back to -- Iran Iran and Syria and Hezbollah and some politicians in Iraq.
-- or -- block that the Russians needs to see anti American further so what I see now is that.
The civil war in -- is only gonna grow unfortunately between an asset who cannot take back the country.
And an opposition -- cannot bring him down very fast.
