The president has decided to slow the pace of the drawdown of u. S. Forces. Thousands more than initially planned will now remain stationed in afghanistan. Margaret brennan is at the white house with the reasons behind the president s decision. Margaret, good morning. Reporter good morning. The explosion of violence in afghanistan led president obama to reverse his decision to try to bring most u. S. Troops home by the end of his time in office. This was a tough call for the president , who had declared the american war in afghanistan to be over. Now, hell slow the withdrawal of u. S. Forces from the current level of 10,000 down to 5500 by the end of 2016. His original plan was to leave just 1,000 troops in kabul. But u. S. Military advisors warned a more robust presence is needed to combat a resurgent taliban as well as threats from isis and al qaeda. Just last month Taliban Forces overran an imagi major afghan c the First Time Since 2001. Senior Administration Officials say u. S. Forces will now be stationed at four key bases at a cost of 15 billion, around 5 billion more than the original plan. Now, later this morning we do expect president obama to publicly outline his decision and explain exactly why he is halting the withdrawal. Margaret, thanks. Israel is taking new action this morning to battle increasing violence from palestinians. Hundreds of israeli troops are now deployed in cities across the country. But knife attacks targeting troops and civilians continue. Johnathan vigliotti is in jerusalem with the growing tension. Johnathan, good morning. Reporter good morning. The increasing presence of military here on the streets is truly adding to the paranoia. We saw a group of young israeli men, civilians, openly carrying assault rifles in selfdefense. A palestinian father of five says hes worried about the safety of his children, concerned that if they go out of their house, they could be targeted, mistaken for terrorists. The scene of a dead Young Palestinian man surrounded by Israeli Security forces is becoming a familiar one during this latest surge in violence. He was shot dead yesterday at the entrance of the old city after he allegedly tried to knife an Israeli Security guard. Later, at a bus station, another attacker was shot and killed by police after stabbing a 70yearold israeli woman. Knife attacks have become the hallmarks of the recent arrest. This Surveillance Video shows an assault on civilians. Funerals have been taking place for israelis killed in the violence. As they have for the palestinians who have died. This man was killed during clashes with Israeli Security forces. And no sooner had his funeral in bethlehem finished, fighting erupted on the streets once again. Those we spoke with say the anger and fear is palpable. Very dangerous place. We are scared all the time. Reporter in his first address since the violence began, palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas called for peaceful resistance but vowed to continue the national struggle. Calling for peaceful resistance, the first time, we should mention, he has spoken out on this violence since it erupted three weeks ago. Not everybody is listening. Earlier this morning three palestinian men were arrested. Israeli Police Suspected them of about to launch another attack. Norah . Johnathan vigliotti in jerusalem, thank you. Another republican congressman says the House Committee investigate the benghazi attacks wants to hurt Hillary Clintons president ial chances. He said he believes the probe is politically motivated. I think there is a big part of this investigation that was designed to go after people, an individual, Hillary Clinton. I think theres also a lot of it thats important that we needed to get to the bottom of this. But this has been the longest investigation, longer than watergate. House Majority Leader Kevin Mccarthy suggested last month that the investigation was meant in part to sink clintons poll numbers. Clintons spokesperson says the committee has no credibility left. This morning the Clinton Campaign is telling Vice President joe biden to make up his mind about running for president. Clinton and senator Bernie Sanders are reaping the rewards from tuesday nights debate. Many democrats are asking if there is still even an opening for joe biden. Nancy cordes is in iowa, where the first caucuses are three and a half months away. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. The Clinton Campaign is subtly upping the pressure on joe biden. They feel this field has been in limbo long enough. Did we have a good debate last night . We will win nevada for the democrats to keep a democrat in the White House Reporter an energized Hillary Clinton stayed in nevada wednesday after a debate performance that gave her campaign a badlyneeded shot of confidence. Her Campaign Chair issued this challenge to biden. I think the time has come for a decision. Reporter clinton herself took a more handsoff approach. I think he needs to decide what is best for him and his family. Reporter biden will also have to consider sanders sudden surge in funding. He raised as much as republican rand paul raised in three months. We asked sanders if he would like to see another candidate in the race. Youre not going to mention his name, are you . Joe biden is a good friend of mine. There are some people who say if he comes in the race it does me good, other people say no, it doesnt do me good. I dont know the answer to that. Reporter anyone looking for clues from biden himself didnt find them in this brief assessment of the debate. I was proud, i thought they all did well. Reporter his supporters in the Draft Biden Movement insist clintons debate performance only made it more clear why biden needs to run. There really isnt a peer for her on the stage. Having the Vice President on the stage would give democrats an alternative, it would give our primaries a boost. Reporter if biden does jump in, hell attend the Second Democratic debate here in des moines on november 14th. By the way, another sign that sanders is feeling pretty good about how he did on tuesday night, here he is busting a move with ellen at a taping in los angeles yesterday. That interview will be airing later today. Thanks, nancy. Something i thought i would never see, Bernie Sanders and ellen. Dancing. He is also now a political target for billionaire battaldo trump. He hit him hard in virginia. Trump said sanders is pushing clinton to the left. Cies watched hillary tonight with, were going to give this, were going to give that. The poor woman, shes got to give everything away because this maniac standing on her right is giving everything away, so shes following. Thats whats happening. This socialist communist, okay, nobody wants to say it. Cbs news contributor frank li luntz is here. Good morning. Its part of the reason why Kevin Mccarthy went through what he did. Its anger and frustration. In the focus groups im doing, its tough to make it through the three hours because people are so pissed off. Trump is talking to them. He really is relating to them. Weve found hes leading in iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, and nevada, the first four states. My advice to viewers, stop looking at the national polls. Follow those first four states. Charlie, nobody has ever won those four states and not won the nomination. Is this the new strategy, for him to attack democrats . Will he focus more on democrats now, than he is on republicans . Its hard to tell. Weve never seen a republican attack other republicans the way he has. Until that clip we showed, hes basically left Hillary Clinton alone. It doesnt seem to bother other republicans. When we show republicans clips of him ripping into other republican candidates, they laugh. How much someday difference that social media make . We havent talk about this before. Weve been looking at the content of social media. For the first time conservative social media is more negative, more vicious, more personal in the attacks than left wing social media. And trump is provoking it and stoking it. All you have to do is look at what happened after the democratic debate, when clinton and sanders people were actually complementing each other. Then look at the republican social media, and it is vicious. Every day, every hour theyre coming after each other. Weve any seen this before. What about bushs attempt to Gain Momentum . Trump is so telegenic that you want to focus on him. Its deeper than that, because trumps support is deep are than that. The more we inform people about where trump stands, they dont break from him. Bernie sanders has got the weakest support of any candidate, i dont mean Bernie Sanders, ben carson. Trump, over 80 of trump voters say theyll stay with him no matter what they learn. That makes it hard for rubio and bush to get traction. Frank luntz, thank you very much. Were just hearing from south rafrica that oscar busines for i couldnt say that Oscar Pistorius will get out of prison. Hell serve the rest of his sentence on house arrest. There is new information today that lamar odom may have used cocaine in the days before he was found unconscious in a brothel.

According to a source close to the family, there has been an improvement in odoms condition. He briefly opened his eyes and squeezed Kim Kardashians hand. But understand this hes still not out of the woods. And there is concern because he is still fighting for his life. The first 911 call came in around 3 15 p. M. Nevada time, tuesday, from a female employee of the love ranch, where lamar odom had been a guest since saturday. They need to hurry, please. Cause hes got blood coming out of his nose, white stuff coming out of his mouth. Reporter another male caller told operators about drugs he says odom had been taking. Hes apparently had some cocaine on him that has he finished on either he did this on saturday. Reporter the caller also said odom was taking large amounts of reload, a sexual enhancement drug the fda warns could be dangerous if mixed with certain other medications.

Reporter entertainment tonight was allowed into the room in the brothel will odom was discovered. Police looked through his things and didnt tell us they found anything.
