"The problem is that further afield, there are other, more urgent clocks ticking."


                   Yes, there certainly are. I'd hate to see the president wast 10 minutes on Israel and the buffoons in the Middle East. We need to do something about healthcare, social security, the mortgage crisis, the auto industry, agriculture, green energy... The list is endless. Let Israel take care of its own problems; it's time for the US to stop wasting any more time and money on them.
