"President Obama has finished gathering information about troop options in Afghanistan and probably will announce his decision in an address to the nation Dec. 1, administration officials said.

Opinion polls show that most Americans believe the war is no longer worth fighting."

Several leading Democrats have already raised the possibility of a surtax on the wealthiest Americans to help pay for an expanded war effort."

"When he talks to the nation next week about his Afghanistan strategy, President Obama will face the central challenge of explaining why he is escalating an eight-year-old war that is increasingly unpopular with the American public, while he also outlines plans for ending it."

It's going to be a tough sell. My hope is there is a huge emphasis on exit strategy. While I back our President fully this is one of those things I would probably track differently... of course he has all the information and I don't.

I'm much more inclined to go along with this gentleman's analogy.

"I got home in September and that's when I first heard there were debates on this within the administration...I'm very pleased the way the debates have been going. I'm not sure what's going that's going to happen with [the troop ]increase--I'm sure we're going to get one. The best thing though ...is that we're going to get some kind of withdrawal date, which is what we need."

Don't bother asking John McCain.

He used to watch War from 42,000 feet.​
