Now, the first such test to be done under north koreas young new leader, kim jongun. It was a highly provocative act, it violates nurpsresolutio. We have a lot to talk about this morning, and joining me is South Carolina Democratic Congressman, james clyburn. Sir, great to have you here. Lets talk about what we do expect to hear from the president tonight. We do have the information, he will be talking about the drawdown of troops in afghanistan, going down to 34,000.
