Washington (CNN) -- President Obama will announce Tuesday he'll deploy 30,000 additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan "at the fastest pace possible" with a goal of starting to withdraw forces from the country in July 2011.
"The 30,000 additional troops that I am announcing tonight will deploy in the first part of 2010 ... so that they can target the insurgency and secure key population centers," Obama will say, according to excerpts from his speech at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York.
Obama will say that the additional U.S. forces "will allow us to accelerate handing over responsibility to Afghan forces, and allow us to begin the transfer of our forces out of Afghanistan in July of 2011," according to the excerpts released by the White House.
The president has a goal of withdrawing most U.S. forces by the end of his current term, senior administration officials told CNN Tuesday. Obama's first term ends in a little more than three years.
Obama is ordering the Pentagon to complete what the officials called the "surge" of U.S. forces by the summer of 2010. A transfer of security responsibility from American and NATO forces to Afghan forces is slated to begin roughly a year later.

“Either fight to win or bring them all home.”
Amen to THAT. I have friends, family and the children of dear friends risking their necks over there!
Where are the Code Pink-os and their bloodied hands? They had the time to threaten Condi! Why aren’t they doing the same to ‘Hillary!’, et al?
The exact SAME young adults are dying, you beotches! Start smearing 0bama with blood. Get bizzy!
*Rolleyes*
Seriously, though...this WHOLE Dog & Pony Show is NOTHING but pandering to his base of Marxist LeftTards.
How stupid does he think we are? (No Comment...)
completely agree... they now know the whole game plan...
Good Job, Obozo
Just THINK about it for a minute...
George W Bush was my CIC when I was in Iraq and we knew what the mission was and the soldiers around me were proud to serve.
Now if I were “excrement”, I would take offense to that statement. Why would you equate a natural part of digestion with something that is simply, “evil”? Why not just call him what he is? A manifestation of darkness of powers and principalities that seek to enslave humanity?
will it buy him enough re-election votes?
The Cadets do not look very enthused. If that imbecile wins re-election, look for the military budget to be cut, cut, cut. More money is needed for his programs or pay-outs to win re-election. It must have made him ill to give this speech. It played only to his liberal base.
In other news, President Abraham Lincoln has announced that he is ordering General Ulysses S. Grant to begin withdrawing from Virginia in early 1865.
Emperor Obie tries to please all of the people on this one. It won’t work. They will all hate him.
EXACTLY!
he is screwing the troops and American interests all over the place!
Well said.
...will announce Tuesday he'll deploy 30,000 additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan "at the fastest pace possible" with a goal of starting to withdraw forces from the country in July 2011.No domestic political considerations at work here...
Maybe he wants to get 30,000 more American soldiers killed so they can't later surround Congress and the White House?
Obama has no idea about how to be a winning commander in chief.
