WASHINGTON — President Obama said Tuesday that he was determined to finish the job in Afghanistan, and his aides signaled to allies that he would send as many as 25,000 to 30,000 additional troops there even as they cautioned that the final number remained in flux.


The White House said Mr. Obama had completed his consultations with his war council on Monday night and would formally announce his decision in a national address in the next week, probably on Tuesday.

At a news conference in the East Room with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of India, Mr. Obama suggested that his approach would break from the policies he had inherited from the Bush administration and said that the goals would be to keep Al Qaeda from using the region to launch more attacks against the United States and to bring more stability to Afghanistan.

After eight years — some of those years in which we did not have, I think, either the resources or the strategy to get the job done — it is my intention to finish the job, he said.

He said that he would outline his Afghanistan strategy after Thanksgiving, adding, I feel very confident that when the American people hear a clear rationale for what were doing there and how we intend to achieve our goals, that they will be supportive.
