In other news, after much grand-standing and noise making over our involvement in Libya for the last several weeks, it appears as though Congress is going to officially approve of our continued involvement in a logistical support role. John Boehner is expected to hold votes on two bills authored by John Kerry and John McCain.

Tonight -- President Obama announces his decision for the pace of withdrawal from Afghanistan. It is expected he will announce that 10,000 troops will come home by the end of this year, with another 23,000 to follow by this time next year. Commanders in Afghanistan have advocated a much slower withdrawal, with only 4,000 troops returning home this year. Expect pundits on both the far-left and far-right to attack the decision.
