President Obama will announce his new military strategy for Afghanistan tonight from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

The cadets there right now enrolled during a time of war, knowing the risks. Now, the commander-in-chief could be writing their futures right in front of them. Our Deb Feyerick got reaction to the president's plan, and the war, from right outside West Point's gates in this AM original report.

Today I watched a program of soldiers in Afganistan. Why do we go on TV and tell our plans on what we are going to do in Afganistan

Why do we go on TV and tell our plan on what we are going to do in Afganistan? If we must go to Afganistan to accoplish a goal, then we should keep our mouth shut and not advertise it on TV.

Wingnuts of the week

What's a Wingnut? Someone on the far-right wing or far-left wing of American politics. In a polarized two-party system, they have disproportionate influence and too often define the terms of debate. With "Wingnuts of the Week," commentator John Avlon tries to take that power back.
