In March, President Obama ordered 20,000 troops into Afghanistan.  It is expected that on Tuesday, during his prime time speech, he will announce that he is sending another 34,000.  There are currently about 68,000 troops in Afghanistan.

I think it is great that President Obama is willing to win the war.  As public support for the war continues to slip (according to Tuesday’s CNN poll, 66% believe the war is going badly), we will see how committed he is to his victory.
