GPS with Fareed Zakaria:-The President cut a deal with the GOP to continue the Bush tax cuts while extending unemployment benefits. Fareed's take on the issue? It's a missed opportunity to invest in America's long term growth. And he'll tell you about a country that seems to be setting itself up for the future, while the U.S. is putting more on the credit card.

Next up, he's the most decorated soldier in Israel, a former Prime Minister, and that nation's current Minister of Defense. Ehud Barak sits down with Fareed to talk about what we all know -- thanks to Wikileaks - his country and a few of its Arab neighbors might have in common: the fear of a nuclear Iran. Barak also talks about how to move the peace process forward.

Then, one of the Republican party's top women on why the GOP has the wrong attitude after its electoral victory. Former member of President George W. Bush's cabinet and former New Jersey Governor Christie Todd Whitman on fixing that attitude problem...and on Sarah Palin's chances for 2012. And what in the world: Glenn Beck says 10% of the world's Muslims are terrorists. Could that be true? After that, a GPS panel on how China handled the Nobel Peace Prize controversy and what's behind that nation's aggressive foreign policy moves?

And finally a look at the Star of David, in the last place on earth you might expect to find it.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/12/09/60minutes/main7134209.shtml?tag=contentMain;cbsCarousel

A disappointed Jerry Jones says even his friend, the late George Steinbrenner, would fire him for the poor performance of a Dallas football team that many predicted would go to the Super Bowl.

The Cowboys owner-general manager speaks to correspondent Scott Pelley for a profile to be broadcast on "60 Minutes," Sunday, Dec. 12, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

By the last day of October, the Cowboys' chances of going to the Super Bowl were all but dead.

"Before this year started, we were recognized as probably or certainly one of two that were favored to win the Super Bowl," Jones tells Pelley. "What you're seeing now is agony. I am not willing to accept what we're doing and how we're playing.
