The president's remarks will begin at 8 p.m. ET, 5 p.m. PT.

You can watch the address live online at WhiteHouse.gov's livestreaming page. CBS will also be broadcasting the address, and the network's coverage will also be available online.

Anonymous sources told The Washington Post the president plans to announce that he will bring home 10,000 U.S. troops this year, along with an additional 23,000 troops by the end of September 2012.

Currently, around 100,000 U.S. military personnel are in Afghanistan, and almost half of that number were sent by Obama in 2009.

November will marked the tenth year the U.S. military has been engaged in Afghanistan, and the occupation has become increasingly unpopular in the past several years.
