I am not sure that is true at all.  Where have you seen this?  This article
seems to be a good summary to me and doesn't talk about that video at all.
Seems like the biggest mistake they made was pissing off Jordan.  It was
pretty clear after the protests of the bombings there, that it wasn't a
very good move.
