CLEAN: Obama prepares to announce Afghan surge

President Obama plans to announce a significant increase in U.S. troops in Afghanistan, aiming to finish the job after eight years of conflict. The move is controversial, with only 35% of Americans supporting it due to high human and financial costs. The ongoing Taliban insurgency and Afghan skepticism about foreign troops add to the complexity. A new strategy focusing on winning over Afghanis and effectively deploying troops is deemed crucial for success.
