what will they do? can we deal in the problems in the afghan and pakistani governments. >> reporter: the president convened a total of nine war council meetings over the past two months. addressing those very questions. officials say the president is likely to announce 40,000 -- 34,000 troops. used to secure the southern towns. and train afghan security forces. but it's a delicate message. shoring up support for the war by calibrating expectations carefully. >> we wasted more than a half a decade. and the costs and risks involved are very sharp. >> reporter: more than 60,000 troops in afghanistan. white house aides say the president will use his speech on tuesday about ramping up the war as much as getting out of it. but those 34,000 additional u.s. troops, that number is significantly less than commanders in the field had asked for. now to my colleague nick schifrin in afghanistan. with more on how the new strategy is expected to play out for troops on the ground. >> reporter: after eight years of war, afghanistan has never been more dangerous. the u.s. commander says only 40,000 more troops can help prevent defeat. the majority of those troops will come to kandahar. they will create a defense ring around the city. and train afghan police. the goal, protect the population. >> this population has been intimidated for a long time. continues to be intimidated now. >> reporter: in the '90s, the taliban launched their move from here. since the start of the war, the u.s. has largely ignored the kandahar city. today, residents say the taliban move freely and threaten and kill with impunity. they tried to kill one of afghanistan's few female politicians, they missed her. but they didn't miss her husband or brother. right now, she says, the taliban in kandahar are stronger than the government. a 24-year-old lieutenant is trying to change that by training a poorly-equipped police force. it is an immense task. >> they're doing more of what we would consider military. police back in the u.s. don't have to worry about getting kill every day or getting blown up from an ied. from just a normal, everyday thing. these guys do. >> reporter: in addition to the new troops coming to southern afghanistan, about one-third of them will come to eastern and northern afghanistan. the first troops who will arrive will be marines, 9,000 of them could begin deploying by the end of the year. for the bottom line on the president's upcoming speech, let's bring in the host of "this week," george stephanopoulos. good morning, gorge. what do we know about the speech that he's going to give on tuesday night? what do we know about how many troops he may send to afghanistan and where? >> we do know that the president is speaking at 8:00 p.m. from west point. to present this new strategy to the cadets of west point. how long we're going to be in afghanistan. how much this is going to cost the president. the president will spell that out. he'll go into some detail about the cost. because he has a rough sledding with congress right now. as for the troops, it's likely, the setup could be closer to 34,000, it could be closer to 30,000 supplemented by 5,000 or so nato troops. the president is hoping for that. which could get close to 40,000 that general mcchrystal first called for in his strategy review. back in august. one thing administration officials tell me, when the president comes out with this announcement, there will be a united front. his entire cabinet the generals, the defense secretary robert gates, all onboard. he's reached a consensus strategy with his team. the question is, will the country buy it? >> do you see this as a defining moment for this new presidency? >> certainly. certainly, the toughest decision president obama has faced. i think it's one of the reasons it took so long, because he knows this is a defining moment. as tony cordesman said in rachel's piece, if this new strategy works, the president will get the credit. if it doesn't, this has become president obama's war and there's real concern inside his party, that this war especially at the cost $30 billion a year is going to swallow his domestic agenda. yes, this is a perilous choice for the president. >> congress may be one of the stumbling blocks for the president. or the hardest sell that he has to make, even his own democrats. >> especially his own democrats. that's exactly right. house speaker nancy pelosi has said this question of cost is creating tremendous unrest among democrats in congress. what speaker pelosi has said to the president, if he comes to the congress for more money, he'll have to rely heavily on republican votes to get this through. because she won't be able to deliver more than half of her democratic caucus to vote for this war. >> george stephanopoulos, thanks so much. tune into "this week" later this morning. george will be speaking to bernie sanders and lindsey graham. now, for a look at the other headlines this morning. ron claiborne. prosecutors in florida have issued an arrest warrant for a man accused of killing four relatives at a thanksgiving dinner. 10,000 reward is now being offered leading to his capture. ryan owens is in jupiter, florida, with the latest. good morning, ryan. >> reporter: still no sign of the suspect. and police and federal agents are growing increasingly worried, they have now cast their net far beyond florida. >> at this particular point he's still at large. considered armed and dangerous. paul mehige stretches from south florida all of the way to michigan. the man who kill four of his relatives had reached out to a detroit doctor over the past year. police won't say why. but those who know that the that the suspect has a history of mental illness and suicide attempts. >> it didn't rejs ster it was a gun until the eighth shot. >> reporter: jim sitton lost his 6-year-old daughter. the 6-year-old was shot five times. police say that he also turned the gun on his pregnant sister, her twin sister and an aunt, after they all celebrated the holiday together. investigators have uncovered chicago details about the shooting. sitton said he watched as the gunman reloaded and alleged told an injured relative that he had been waiting to do this since he was a teenager. >> 20 years to do this. 20 years to kill his family. >> reporter: while the suspect allegedly targeted his family based on years of resentment, police are now worried that he's so desperate, he would be willing to turn the gun on anyone who tried to capture him. ron? and a senate report says that osama bin laden was within the grasp of u.s. troops in the mountains of eastern afghanistan in 2001 but escaped because military leaders decided not to pursue him with massive force. and the white house gate crashers reportedly want to be paid for a tv interview. a television executive says the virginia couple who got into tuesday's white house state dinner is asking networks to pay them hundreds of thousands of dollars to tell their story. and finally, this 9-year-old found a 100 million year old dinosaur bone in maryland. at a park where visitors can help scientists dig. the piece from a raptor's tail will become a permanent part of the smithsonian. >> start digging now. >> one reason to send the kids out in the yard today. >> good old-fashioned digging. welcome back, bill. heard you were under the weather. a dust storm in southern arizona. it brought traffic along i-10 to a stop. a complete standstill. look at that plume of smoke. two people died in a car accident. the good news, if there's any in that, the winds die down for today. we take a look at this part of the country. just behind the storm the santa ana winds start to kick up. in southern california. in the midst of storm, you'll see snow in the mountains of arizona and new mexico. >> thanks so >> thanks so much. more on your sunday outlook later on the show. bill? we turn now to the one-car crash heard around the world. police are scheduled to interview tiger woods and his wife later today. about what actually happened in that early friday morning accident that sent the famed golfer to the hospital. this will be their third attempt at interviewing the couple. to explain why, we go to espn's tom rinaldi. good morning, tom. >> good morning, bill. the wall street journal reports that a neighbor of woods made a 911 call. it's just the latest detail in an investigation that's ongoing as are the questions. at 2:45 saturday afternoon, investigators from the florida highway patrol pulled up to the gates of isleworth. they were asked there to ask woods for more details about the single-car accident. according to the fhp, the golfer's agent said that woods and his wife were unavailable to be interviewed. and troopers were asked to return sunday. and new photos of the crash scene have emerged. showing woods' suv dented up against a tree. according to windermere police, woods was on the ground, moving in and out of consciousness. after his wife elin smashed in the rear car window to get woods out. woods was taken to a nearby hospital where he was treated and released. while more details have emerged regarding the crash, questions still remain unanswered. why did wood lose control of the vehicle and where was hi going? the air bags did not deploy and police said, alcohol was not a factor in the crash. according to the fhp, there were two 911 calls made. one believed to have come from woods' wife elin. based on whether the tapes are pertinent to the case, they'll be released. there's no definitive time line for what that happened. kim montes said quote -- according to the fhp, woods does not have to speak with investigators. he's only obligated to provide his license, registration and proof of insurance. today, bill, will mark the third time that troorps hope he'll provide some answers as well. for more on this, let's turn to abc news consultant, christine brennan. thanks for joining us again. if anyone, you cover sports, if anyone deserves the benefit of the doubt in any situation, it's a guy who has built an empire on self-discipline and focus. so, is it naive to think there could be a reasonable explanation for this that doesn't involved the violent and mart tall spat? >> no, bill, i don't think it that's naive. i think that's certainly within the realm of responsibility. there's a logical explanation. everybody will believe it. tiger will move on and make more money. i don't think that this is a going to irreparably harm his image or his endorsement opportunities. you mentioned the self-discipline, such a polished image, a marketing and pr team, that's probably the best we have ever seen for a single athlete, bill. we haven't heard anything for 48 hours. that's the part that surprises me from the tiger woods' camp. >> but, at the same time, he's fiercely, fiercely private. one of the best stories to give credence to that, he named his yacht, privacy. after he sued the yacht builders for using his name without his permission. so, is this not in keeping with how he tightened things down. >> it is keeping. the difference here is, of course, we're in an entirely different world with the internet. and the blogosphere. and twitter and everything else. and everything moves faster and quicker. tiger's people are smart and they know what they are doing. and tiger's a smart guy. i wonder, when do you fill the void? there's a lot out there right now. is it bothering tiger's people? we'll get the answer to all of those questions. >> and he's supposed to play in his own charity tournament this week in california. >> remind us where we are at in the season and what's at stake for him as a player? >> this is his charity event. he wants to be there. that will be interesting. if he's in a press conference on tuesday, lot of people will want to watch a press conference. but we are, what, five months away from the next major. the masters in april. there's a long way to go. before tiger woods has to play a meaningful golf tournament. >> christine brennan, thank you so much. okay, bill, now to a christmas story of sort. as the recession grinds on, towns across the country are on thing things down. here's abc's eic horng. >> reporter: for more than a century, a city in illinois has dressed up its small-town streets for the holidays. but this year, high unemployment have threatened to turn the lights out on this beloved tradition. >> putting up christmas decorations. lot of people would argue that's something that you can do without. >> reporter: the town has cut the decorating budget by two-thirds. business owners worried customers would go elsewhere. >> it creates an atmosphere and it makes people want to come to the town. and people want to shop. >> reporter: it's a similar story across the country. communities forced to trim the tree on trimmer budgets. in fresno, california, the usually elaborate city hall display is this year, decidedly modest. >> it was a beautiful tree, but at the same time the cost of keeping it up and the layoffs with the city hall, i think it's too much this year. >> reporter: to keep main street aglow the city is stepping up as a community. residents are donating time and money to business leaders. >> people have been leaving lights on my front porch. i come home from work and there's a bag of lights. i have had people calling me out and pulling out dollar bills, here, here for the effort. >> reporter: and now it could end up being one of the brightest. >> with the community contributions we have gotten, we may have more lights burning than we have ever had. >> this town has a lot of heart and a lot of soul. >> reporter: for "good morning america," eric horng, illinois. >> i like that. >> kind of like the end of wonderful life. >> community spirit. >> you don't need the bling. >> or just do it yourself. we'll be right back. coming up on "good morning america" -- retail secrets revealed. our consumer expert goes behind the scenes and shares some inside shopping tips that stores don't want you to know. down and dirty. a town finds inspiration in a football team's field of dirt and dreams. breathe ri the small strip that gives you... big nighttime breathing relief... introt,ces-- drum roll please-- new breathe right extra. the only strip with an extra spring-like band, it's 50% stronger for congested noses that need extra help in opening nasal passages... so you breathe even better. and now get two free samples... and experience a better night's sleep for yourself. go to breatheright.com to try new breathe right extra. ♪ to -- wow!
