i'm anne-marie green. today defense secretary leon panetta will make a historic change for the united states military. the pentagon will lift the ban on women. more than a quarter of a million, 280,000 women, have served in iraq, afghanistan, or neighboring countries in support of those two wars. susan mcginnis is in washington with more. good morning, susan. >> good morning, anne-marie. today's announcement overturns a 1994 ban on women serving in battlefront operations and it opens up about 230,000 military jobs that until now were closed to women. the new pentagon policy makes women eligible to serve in army and marine infantry units. there's also the potential for them to be part of an elite operations team like the navy s.e.a.l.s and other forces. >> working side by side with special forces teams with pretty cool. >> but in order to join women must be able to withstand the rigid strength requirements with those units. >> there are jobs women can't do physically because they don't have the physical str

anne-marie's basic point is exactly right. they're going to be gone and the real question is going to be how messy is the aftermath? >> how messy? you have done some work on the incredibly fractured nature of syria. >> right. how messy both within syria, because it's very unlikely there will be an effective government to replace assad's regime as they withdraw and also the enormous impact of refugees streaming across the border. over 500,000 already in jordan and turkey and iraq and north africa, as well as jihadists sa laughists causing violence in places like jordan and iraq. so, it's not only messy in terms of a continuing bleeding human rights problem on the ground in syria, irrespective if assad is still there at the end of 2013 or not, but also because we're going to see more sectarian violence metastasizing because of the outcomes from the syrian war. >> i think ian is absolutely right. if you look at the number of refugees, they are already starting to destabilize jordan, just in terms of inability to cope. in turkey,

i have a great panel richard haass, ann-marie slaughter and lionel barber. will israel bomb iran and will the euro zone finally break apart? >>> then the fiscal cliff. the view from across the pond. how did our political process look from a perch overseas and what will it all mean for the u.s. economy and the global economy? >>> also, will this be india's awakening? the nation confronts its own dark corners after a despicable deadly act. i'll look at some parallels with america's recent tragic school shooting. >>> first, here's my take. the deal to avoid the fiscal cliff is a small victory for sanity, but what it says about the future is somewhat bleak. washington will probably lurch from crisis to crisis kicking problems forward and placing band aids small solutions on those it does address. there will likely be no large-scale initiative on entitlement reform, energy policy, probably even immigration reform and this is the real worry. because beyond the self-inflicted crisis of the cliff and the forthcoming debt ceiling, the united states faces a much deepe

anne marie served in the administration.ma administration, relations with israel have been very tough. they may have reached a bottom and mare they're on an uprise, but once again, i think this comes down to president obama's policy. remember, she's the secretary of state. she implements the president's agenda, and i think a lot of the problems out there, i think, were president obama's vision. i think i may be wrong here, but i think secretary clinton would have done things a little different on some of these situations such as iran. in fact, i think she's more to the right on iran than president obama is. >> interesting point of view. this has been very much how he sees things, anne marie. a question, though, for you, about her popularity. that to me is what seems to be the most amazing thing. how has she achieved that to be so popular? i ask you that because you know her and you worked for her. early on in her campaign, people saw her at shrill and over the top, and now she's the beloved lady. >> i think that people see w

mary anne is right, it's a different time. different day. we don't need to go back to that. that will be groundhog day again, but it takes the senate and the house, so mary anne, it's just not republicans in the house. harry reid is going to have to step up to the plate as well in the senate to walk with congress, the house side, and with work with the administration, you can't just blame republicans here and the president talks about congress paying its bills, part of its bills the president ran up when nancy pelosi was speaker and ran all of these policies through and helped with the debt as well, mary anne. >> jamie: for the record, the minority speaker nancy pelosi says if she were president, she would raise the debt ceiling on her own, but she says she's not. we'll wait and see what happens. ladies, thanks for weighing in today. >> thank you for having us. >> thank you. >> jamie: rick? >> well, jamie, police in minnesota arresting a pilot for american eagle airlines after tsa officials smelled alcohol on his breath. the officer's name, here he is before he was supposed t
