You should add this to your timeline because it seems a bit odd that she issued this statement:

Hillary Clinton Will Leave State Department if Obama Wins Reelection in 2012

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told an interviewer today that she would not accept a role in a possible second Obama administration.

The executive producer of the CNN show John King USA, Michelle Jaconi, tweeted that Secretary Clinton told the network in an interview in Cairo today that she “would NOT be in an Obama 2nd term cabinet.”

Clinton had been rumored to take over for Defense Secretary Robert Gates, but has suggested she was not open to the job.

Clinton also told CNN she wouldn't want to be vice president or run for president again.

"You know, I had a wonderful experience running and I am very proud of the support I had and very grateful for the opportunity, but I'm going to be, you know, moving on," she said, according to a transcript.

While today’s comments would be the most definitive, Clinton has also said in the past that she has was leaning against another term as Secretary of State.

In January, she told The Today Show that a second term wasn’t something she was “committing to or even thinking about.”

When asked during a PBS interview in January 2010 whether she could imagine staying on the job for another four years, she replied “No, I really can’t,” saying a full 8 years would be “very challenging.”

Clinton has said that once she leaves the Obama administration she would like to focus her work on women and girls, something she has remained passionate about during her time as America’s top diplomat.

right around the time that this happened:

Starting in March 2011, when American diplomat Christopher Stevens was designated the liaison to the “opposition” in Libya, the Obama administration has been arming them, including jihadists like Abdelhakim Belhadj, the leader of the al Qaeda franchise known as the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group. "

Sorry, the date would be good:

Hillary Clinton Will Leave State Department if Obama Wins Reelection in 2012 - Mar 16, 2011

Chris Stevens - Special Representative to the National Transitional Council (from March 2011 to November 2011)

National Transitional Council of Libya

The formation of the NTC was announced in the city of Benghazi on 27 February 2011 with the purpose to act as the "political face of the revolution". On 5 March 2011, the council issued a statement in which it declared itself to be the "only legitimate body representing the people of Libya and the Libyan state".[4][5][6] An executive board, chaired by Mahmoud Jibril, was formed by the council on 23 March 2011 after being de facto assembled as an "executive team" since 5 March 2011. The NTC issued a Constitutional Declaration in August 2011 in which it set up a road-map for the transition of the country to a constitutional democracy with an elected government.

The council gained international recognition as the legitimate governing authority in Libya[7] and occupied the country's seat at the United Nations.[8] In referring to the Libyan state, the council used the long-form name Libyan Republic, while the Gaddafi government's name for the Libyan state was the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya.
