BBC News: Reports that the Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak has requested that the new US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta to defend the Israeli Embassy in Cairo, Egypt. This is the last thing that POTUS wants, he does not want to have to deal with a crisis in the Middle East, the threat from Al Qaeda on 9/11, he wants to push his jobs plan, but these are major diversions, if they should go wrong it can be a disaster, lets hope POTUS keeps his eye on the Middle East, he can not afford for a war to break out between Egypt and Israel after thirty years of peace. Also the Al Qaeda threat is real, thus the heavy New York Police presence in New York, Obama has to be careful that his troop withdrawal in September of 2012 from Afghanistan does not lead to a spike in attacks from that region. Well POTUS wanted the job!
