WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Barack Obama will talk “explicitly” about an exit strategy when he delivers a prime-time speech on Afghanistan on Tuesday night, officials said.
Although the speech is still in draft form, senior U.S. officials were quoted by the New York Times on Monday as saying that the president wanted to use the address not only to announce the immediate order to deploy roughly 30,000 more troops, but also to convey how he intends to turn the fight over to the Kabul government.”

“It’s accurate to say that he will be more explicit about both goals and time frame than has been the case before,” a senior official said on condition of anonymity.
“He wants to give a clear sense of both the time frame for action and how the war will eventually wind down,” he added.

The officials said the time frame would not be tied to particular conditions on the ground nor would it be as firm as the current schedule for withdrawing troops in Iraq.

Officials of one allied nation who have been briefed on the speech said while Obama would describe how the American presence would be ratcheted back after the buildup, he would also make it clear that a significant U.S. presence in Afghanistan would remain for a long while.

Obama was also expected to describe commitments from Afghan President Hamid Karzai and specific benchmarks his government must meet: to crack down on corruption, deploy well-trained Afghan troops and police officers, and focus on development in one of the world’s poorest nations.

The president was expected to be far less specific about Pakistan, where Taliban leaders are commanding operations across the border against American forces, and where al-Qaida’s central leadership still lives.

The White House said last week that Obama would address the nation on Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. eastern time (0100 GMT Wednesday) from West Point military academy.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 (Xinhua) — The United States voiced Monday its expectation for reaching a replacement treaty for the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) with Russia by the end of this year.
“What we’re saying now is that we’re hoping to get this draft agreement by the end of December,” State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters.

Under the 1991 START, which will expire on December 5, the United States and Russia would limit nuclear warheads to about 6,000 in each arsenal.

In their meetings in London and Moscow, President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedv have agreed on the significant reduction of the two countries’ nuclear warheads each possesses to 1,500 to 1,675 on 500 to 1,100 delivery systems over seven years.

Reports from the State Department said that Assistant Secretary of State Rose Gottemoeller and Russian negotiator Anatoly Antonov have been in Geneva for working to resolve remaining differences in areas of offensive weapons level and missile defense issues.

MOSCOW, Dec. 1 (Xinhua) — Russia will back sanctions against Iran over its controversial nuclear program if consensus is reached internationally, said a Russian unnamed diplomat source on Tuesday.
“If there is a consensus on sanctions, Russia will not remain in isolation,” said the source when commenting on Tehran’s plans to build 10 new uranium enrichment facilities

CHICAGO, Dec. 1 (Xinhua) — President and CEO of U.S. automaker General Motors Co. Fritz Henderson resigned Tuesday and his job was taken over on an interim basis by the company’s chairman, Ed Whitacre Jr..
At a hastily called press conference in the auto city of Detroit, Whitacre said he would be working out of the company’s headquarters on a daily basis until a new president and CEO is named. He took no questions at the press conference.

“We all agreed some changes needed to be made going forward,” said Whitacre, the former AT&T CEO who has clashed with Henderson on a number of fronts in recent weeks.

Whitacre was installed by the Treasury Department as the company’s chairman after GM’s bankruptcy reorganization.
GM made this decision and notified the U.S. Treasury Department which holds a 61-percent majority stake in GM.

“This decision was made by the board of directors alone. The administration was not involved in the decision,” the White House said.

Henderson, who was a college pitcher at the University of Michigan, joined GM in 1984 after attending Harvard Business School, and became CEO in April after the Obama administration forced out chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner.

Henderson held a number of positions, including head of its Brazil operations, Latin American unit. In 2002, he became president of GM Asia Pacific.

In 2004, Henderson was named head of GM Europe, followed by a promotion to CFO in June 2006. He had clashed with the board over the decision to sell the company’s European unit Opel and Vauxhall. The board rejected management’s proposal to sell the unit.
