CBS: Obama to Send Up to 40,000 Troops to Afghanistan
-----------------------------------------------------



More reports are emerging that President Obama has decided to send as
many as 40,000 additional troops to Afghanistan. CBS News reported last
night that Obama plans to send four combat brigades plus thousands of
additional troops beginning in early 2010. Over the weekend, the Mc
Clatchy Newspapers reported Obama would send 34,000 more troops. The
White House is denying these reports, claiming that the President has
not yet made a final decision.
