CNN reports that the President will announce in the State Of the Union Address tonight, that by this time next year, 34,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan will have returned home, according to sources with knowledge of the president’s speech.
The move will reduce the number of U.S. forces in the country by more than half, of the 66,000 troops there now.
A Washington Post poll out Tuesday morning shows that 80% of registered voters support the president’s policy to end the war in Afghanistan.
The State of The Union Address will begin at 7pm e.s.t.
