Well, it's official:

OBAMA PLANS 34K MORE TROOPS FOR AFGHANISTAN
Plan to Be Announced on December 1

White House officials announced today that President Barack Obama will address the nation on December 1 to unveil his new Afghanistan escalation strategy, putting an end to months of speculation and allowing NATO to approve its own escalation later that week.

Though the final decision took over three months for the administration to make the announcement does not appear to be far outside the expected range of options, and the 34,000-man escalation that was reportedly favored for the past month is said to be the plan of choice.

I'm sorry, I can't hear what you are saying over the deafening noise of the Liberals who protested Bush's criminal war now protesting Obama's criminal war.
