chapter of his cessting scandal. the longest war in u.s. and tomorrow will mark the beginning of the end. president obama due to announce the long awaited details of how many u.s. troops will be leaving afghanistan. right now, nearly 100,000 americans are serving in uniform there. that is twice the number of u.s. troops when president obama took office. last year alone, the war cost americans taxpayers $120 billion. most importantly, more than 1,600 u.s. troops have died in that war. dan lothian at the white house. dan, we just got new information on the president's announcement. i understand. tell me what you've learned. >> reporter: that's right. our pentagon correspondent barbara starr hearing from an administration official source that president obama is expected to announce tomorrow a plan that he has approved to withdraw 30,000 troops, the surge troops from 2009, from afghanistan by the end of 2012. this would still give u.s. commanders enough forces on the

ground to take part in any combat operation. according to the source, this draw down would be accomplished through those troops returning home not being replaced and also the cancellation of some proposed deployments. again, a word of caution here is that the president, we were told by the white house, is still finalizing his plan and so anything can change before he makes his announcement. the bottom line here, though, is that president obama has always said that his decision would be based on conditions on the ground and the white house says that there have been improvements far beyond just the killing of osama bin laden. >> there has been significant progress in disrupting or halting the momentum of the taliban and significant progress in stabilizing afghanistan and the government to allow afghan national security forces to build up, to train, and prepare for taking over the lead. >> reporter: so, kyra, as you know, there has been this debate, not only within the administration, but also here in

washington. those who believe that there should be a sharp draw down because of the high cost of war, because of the killing of osama bin laden, awe bbut then the ot side secretary gates among them saying the draw-down should be modest. a lot of concern if there is a sharp draw-down it could set back some of the progress occurring there in afghanistan. >> dan lothian, thanks. less than an hour from now, another republican launches a bid for the white house. jon huntsman is a former governor of utah who once worked in the obama administration. now, he'll try to wrestle the job from his former boss. cnn's jim acosta is in liberty park, new jersey. now, this is huntsman's first big event. he wasn't at the cnn debate or the gop leadership conference in new orleans. >> reporter: that's right. that's right, kyra. the huntsman campaign is quick to say that jon huntsman was ill over the weekend and not able to attend that conference down in new orleans. but he has recovered very

quickly, you could say, kyra. he is ready to go for this campaign launch. and it is in a familiar spot. you may remember in 1980 this is the spot where ronald reagan launched his successful bid for the white house back in 1980 and jon huntsman is hoping that this works out pretty much the same way for him. he is going to have to overcome a lot of doubts inside the republican party. even though he just started talking about this bid about a month ago, he remains in the single digits in the polls and that is really an uphill challenge for jon huntsman to overcome here in the coming days, but his campaign has released excerpts of his speech. he is specked to go after the president prit hard on the economy on the mounting national debt. i want to share with you an excerpt from the speech released by his campaign this morning. it uses some pretty stark language. it says, quote, we are about to pass down to the next generation a country that is less powerful and less compassionate and less competitive and less confident than the one we got.

that is totally unacceptable. get this. totally un-american. using some pretty stark language there. jon huntsman will be using in this speech that is going to be delivered here in about than an hour from now. after today, kyra, he goes up to new hampshire which is a critical state for huntsman. it is going to be a tough challenge up there as well. next door to mitt romney's state of massachusetts, obviously. then, tomorrow, he heads down to south carolina which is also going to be a big test for governor huntsman and that is because that is a very, very conservative state and huntsman is being challenged on some of the modern positions he has taken in the past. >> jim acosta, thanks so much. he mentioned huntsman is expected to formally expect to announce his candidacy at the top of the hour. you will see it live in the "cnn newsroom." we know jon huntsman is getting into the race. who else may or may not be running? let's talk to paul steinhauser about that. >> reporter: throw out a name out there george pataki.

used to be the governor of new york. four years ago he made waves. out in iowa a lot and maybe i thinking about running for the republican presidential nomination but didn't do it. he is back to iowa today. he said he is not running but not ruling anything out. i guess we will keep an eye on george pataki just in case he does decide to change his mind. how about somebody else we have talked about a lot? you and i. that is chris christie, the governor of new jersey. a lot of republicans would love to see him run for the nomination. he keeps saying forget about it, i am not doing. look at these numbers. look at that! men, 53% give him a thumb's up and approve of the job he is doing as governor. gender gap only 37% of women in new jersey approve of the guy their guy is doing as governor. fascinating this gender gap which it comes to chris christie. he is known for the tough talk. >> we have seen the interviews. interesting to see if, indeed, he changes what he has said.

someone else we haven't talked a lot about but the name is coming up, john mccain. does he have another run in him? >> reporter: for the presidency, maybe not. he ran in 2000. didn't make it all the way. george w. bush did. nominee last time and didn't win the nomination. what about another bid this time around? take a listen to what he said a couple of hours ago on the morning shous. >> they are saying long history in my family but not so severe to make me want to jump in again. >> that's the final word then, sir? >> final word. >> reporter: i guess that's a no. he'll stay a senator from arizona. not going to make another run for the republican presidential nomination. >> paul, thanks. your next political update in an hour. always get all of the political news 24/7 at cnn/politics.com. before she does that, she stopped off to see one of af ka's most famous leaders.

zain verjee, how did her meeting go with nelson mandela? >> >> she paid a call to the nelson mandela home. she went and saw his prison disk calendars some of the memories he kept with draft letters. she was there with her mom and daughters and nephew and niece as well. and had a pretty packed schedule today, kyra. the whole trip is actually pretty busy for all of them. the focus really is going to be on promoting youth development, women development, and democracy. so far, she has been a great ambassador for the united states and has been received so well, people are really excited she is there. after this trip, she is going to be going to meet with the president and meet with women's group and, afterwards, relax a little bit and have a good time along with her family and go on a safari. >> what a great trip for the

girls. what are south africans saying about her trip? mixed reviews, right? >> yeah. the main hash tag is young africa and here is what they are saying. she spent a lot of time meeting with the local youth. one of them, precious coffee said this. from kings to ministers and then myself, mrs. obama gave each individual her undivided attention. another comment is added. saying this. south africa's first ladies should draw inspiration from the first lady. some said they are not sure this trip is necessary. cindy brooks said is mrs. obama's official school kids really necessary when the u.s. is drowning in debt? by and large, kyra, most africans are happy she is there. they love her.

>> zain, talk more about it. it was a botched government operation to track guns to mexican drug cartels. now the head of the agency responsible may step down. we will talk about it with our investigative reporter drew griffin. and counting down to another candidate at the top of the hour, jon huntsman enters the republican race for the white house and tell you why he is stirring concern with both parties. i'm chef michael, and my dog bailey and i love to hang out in the kitchen. you love the aroma of beef tenderloin, don't you? you inspired a very special dog food.

it was supposed to take u.s. agents right to the mexican drug cartels but here is the problem. the guns were lost. some of those firearms turned up at the scene of a shoot-out that killed u.s. border agent brian terry. >> brian's attention to detail had ensured that all of the christmas gifts he had meticulously selected for his family had already been bought and sent in the mail prior to his arrival. brian did ultimately come home that christmas. we buried him not far from the house that he was raised in just prior to christmas day. >> drew griffin of cnn's special investigations unit, has been chasing this story. so, i mean, i guess the first question off the bat, what was the government thinking, putting weapons into the hands of cartel members? >> you know, it's such a stupid and absurd program, it's hard to imagine anyone ever thought it was a great idea. here was idea.

the problem was guns going to fuel the violence of the cartels in mexico. so the atf officials thought if we could track these guns and see where they are going, maybe we can arrest the cartel leaders who are using these guns. the problem they allowed illegal gun purchases made in the u.s. and then the guns literally walked across the border. ak-47s. no way to track them once they were in mexico. and mexico had no idea that the u.s. government was doing this. so mexico wasn't involved in any part of this to attract these guns. it will be the only way you could find out where the guns went literally was to pick them off dead bodies at crime scenes. >> unbelievable. we're not talking about the head of the atf but there had to be a change of command issue too. >> because the sources i've talked, to the atf agents who walked the guns go across to mexico and protested it said this was a major operation. >> atf agents said, wait, this is wrong.

>> absolutely. >> there were agents that stepped up and said this is -- >> i talked to one atf agent and walked a straw buyer undercover and go into an arizona gun store and buy ten ak-47s. called his boss, do we arrest him now? the answer was, no, watch where he goes. he went across the border. >> more people are going to lose their jobs. no not just the head of the atf? >> this is being pushed by darrell issa, the republican in the house, he wants to know who in the department of justice knew it. its like kenneth melson will take the political fallout for that. will it stop there? a justice department inspector general's investigation going on. eric holder, the attorney general, says he didn't know about it. the people in congress say that really hard to believe. because this was such an intricate and involved to pull

off and at the time, even though looking back on it saying this was absurd, the atf was excited about this. they thought they were going to score some big name arrests once this operation was over with. >> we are going to stay, obviously, following this and see if the resignation comes today. drew, thanks. good work. >> which ranks the lowest in customer satisfaction? we will tell you after the break. they are all coming out today to mark the summer s solstace. more on the summer break coming up.

with you, maybe, about, what, eight years ago? >> reporter: yeah, i know. i know. that's what you do at stone hedge, you party all night long and have a fabulous time. look at them having a really good time. sometimes what happens is they clash with each other and then there are riots and police have to come in but it was a lot of fun. june 21st is the official start of the summer season in the northern hemisphere. today at 1:16 p.m. eastern time, the sun is going to be at the highest point in the sky and today is the day that we are going to have the most hours of daylight as well. so that's a pretty good party for a lot of people, but just not you and i. stone hedge is supposed to be cool. 4,000 to 5,000 years old, that place. it's quite the place to visit. >> let's hope nothing tips over. thank you so much, zain. that would be a story! >> reporter: it's been there a few thousand years, you know? >> no issues so far.

jim acosta is there using it as well and he is in liberty park, new jersey. jim, huntsman has little name recognition but his candidacy is already catching the attention of the white house. >> reporter: it certainly is. i mean, you mentioned the fact that he is going to be standing in the shadow of not only the statue of liberty, but ronald reagan today, when he makes his presidential announcement and what better way to sort of wash away the memory for some conservatives that he was the u.s. bread for china for president obama and some republicans don't like about jon huntsman to be frank with you. he is trying to overcome that and do that in his speech, he hopes in just about 30 minutes from now. he will talk about the economy and the mounting national debt and say if we don't solve both of these problems in future generations, they are not going to have the kind of future that americans enjoy now. and, you know, some of that comes as what of a surprise to the white house. david axelrod, one of the

president's top political advisers, was talking to candy crowley on "state of the union" on sunday saying if jon huntsman had a problem with our economic policy, why didn't he say something when he was ambassador to china? here is what david axelrod had to say. >> i think he is a very bright fluent person. it was a little surprising to me, because when we were in shanghai, we got a chance to talk and this was the fall of 2009, about what the president was doing. so i was surprised when he emerged as a candidate. >> reporter: now, huntsman' campaign has fired back calling axelr axelrod's comments absurd. what is interesting to see somebody going after his former boss running for the white house. not something you see very often in american political history. but it is something that jon hutsman is going to have to do if he is going to overcome this obama taint that some conservatives see huntsman as having at this point. he is going to try it up in new

aiding syria's harsh crackdown on anti-government protesters. barbara starr has more on this. >> reporter: a u.s. official tells cnn they now have secret intercepts of communications between iran and syria in recent days, pointing to iran's continuing meddling in the situation inside syria, as the violence has mounted in that country on almost a daily basis. official say iran is trying to continue to exert its influence. as you know, iran basically considers syria a satellite state. it's laying gourroundwork if as were to fall from power they have regime with other key players who might take over. the united states state department, the obama administration, hasn't been very specific about what it sees about iran's influence but here is a little bit of what the

administration did have to say. >> in terms of evidence, it's difficult for me to talk about a lot of that evidence from the podium. i would just say that, you know, when the -- in the executive order that president obama signed, i believe on april 29th, he did cite human rights violations by the iranian revolutionary guard corps. so we believe there is clear evidence that iran is actively helping syria. >> reporter: administration officials say one of the main things they see are members of iran's revolutionary guard corps moving in and out of syria. key iranian officials from that organization going into syria on a continuing basis. what is their speakexpertise? one of the thing is offer expertise in training appear opinion administering official says iranian riot control gear

is now inside syria. iran, of course, has a lot of expertise in controlling people demonstrating on their streets for their independence. the iranians also have a continuing weapons flow into syria which an administration official says continues to this day unchecked. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. president obama has set his views on same-sex marriage are constantly evolving. our next guest says that is not good enough. elsie granderson joins us next. they are creative and kind of creepy. jeanne moos exposes man babies.

president obama says his views on homosexuality are sxanth constantly evolving. it's in new york and it so happens that is where the state is embroiled in a same-sex marriage tug of war. our weekly contributor writes about this on cnn.com. good to see you. >> good morning. how are you? >> i'm doing well.

i'm curious. in your opinion, what is keeping president obama from embracing same-sex marriage? >> reporter: i think there's a difference between his public opinion and his private one. the public opinion is the one in which is giving him a little bit more difficulties as he becomes, i guess, more and more gay friendly. it's getting difficult for him to continue to have what i think is, without a question, a wonderful record in terms of gobt rights but then hold on to what is still considered by many conservative view on the definition of marriage. it's getting trickier for him. so he is doing it for political reasons, obviously. but it's getting to the point in which his consciousness, i would think, would start to eat away at him and at some point i anticipate him coming out and saying he is a supporter of gay marriage. >> he is thinking about re-election, he is thinking

about votes. so is taking on same-sex marriage the best thing for him right now? >> reporter: no. absolutely not. but as i said before, it's getting tricky. he is going to be in manhattan. if marriage equality does not pass in albany, he is going to have a very disappointing crowd, so he is going to have to find a way to keep their spirits up to give him money, while, at the same time, holding on to the mentality that marriage is between a man and a woman. that's a pretty, you know, delicate balance he is going to have to master if it does not pass in new york. >> but he has done a lot for the gay community. more than, would you say -- >> absolutely. >> okay. you can read -- >> absolutely. he has, by far, has done more for the gay community than any other president and that is not to be forgotten. >> we will definitely follow the fund-raiser and see what exactly he says. i know you'll be watching closely. l.z. granderson, great to see you. you can read lz's piece is obama

german soccer team. and the genre is called man babies, there are plenty of women babies as well. >> my favorite is probably my wife. >> reporter: his daughter's pacifier is a nice touch. the catch is to get a picture of them not looking so child like. >> there's a website called man babies that has been around for over three years. same concept but a lot less glossy. the german photographer says he never heard of the man babies website until after he did his series. now there's an a swap faces app.

a >> wow. whoa. >> whoa. >> that ain't no baby, that's a porn star. >> reporter: your no man baby, you're a crybaby. jeanne moos, cnn. it's just before 10:00 a.m. on the east coast and 7:00 a.m. out west. and five days after anthony weiner announced he would resign, today it's official. and then a 19-year-old arrested for hacking sony and the gaming company. sony says the attack costs it more than $170 million. mrs. obama has already

visited former south african president, nelson mandela. right now, another republican launching a bid for the white house. john huntsman, former governor of utah says that he will try to wrestle the job from his former boss. jim, since huntsman first big event, and he was not at the cnn debate, but he's standing in the same place ronald reagan once stood. >> reporter: that's right. he's here now. i will let pictures step louder than words. this is part of the stage crafting of the announcement. john huntsman and his wife and children are now walking across the lawn here at liberty state park new jersey. it's across from the statue of liberty. this is a big moment for john

huntsman. he would like to beat his old boss and take his boss's job away. he will have a tough challenge ahead of him. he has been testing the political waters for a month now, and he's in the single digits. this speech that he has coming up here is a big moment for him. he has to find a way to excite the conservative base. he does have a resume that many conservatives are now coming to. they like the fact that he cut taxes as governor of utah and like some of the things he did out there, but the question is whether or not, as he put it, he can catch lightning in a bottle. this is part of the stage crafting you see with presidential campaigns. this is a very important spot for republicans. this is where ronald reagan launched his successful bid for the white house back in 1980.

john huntsman hopes he can do the same thing here. i will throw it back to you in case you have questions. this will be an interesting race if he can make a run at it. this could be something we have not seen in a very long time, if not ever. >> he is obviously coming up behind you here, and if you get a chance to make a shout-out and see if he says anything back, go for it. and we talked about his policies, and more so talked about the character, his interests. he is very interesting, and rides a motorcycle, and speaks various languages and bungee jumps, and that's where he caught a lot of attention of how interesting a character he is. he's coming up on the right side, jim. >> reporter: i will step out of the way again.

he was the ambassador to china, and he will take the president to task on foreign policy. he opposed the military action against libya. he's in favor of reducing the u.s. presence in afghanistan dramatically. he is also going to take the president to task on the economy. the speech excerpts have been released to us. he is going to go after the president on the economy and say what is at stake right now is the future, and that future generations may not have the confidence that today's generations have, and that is in his words, totally un-american. he has been known to sort of take kit gloves to the presidents and will take the gloves off a little today. we will see him go after the president a bit in the speech. >> let's be realistic here. it's quite a long shot that he's going to actually replace his

former boss in the white house, however, the white house has definitely been watching him, and is it fair to say, you know, that he's feared by his former boss a bit? >> he is the republican that the white house is concerned about for many reasons, and one is that he has taken some moderate positions on the issues as governor of utah. while that is problematic during the likes of michele bachmann and perhaps sarah palin, if he can get the nomination and get to the general election, there are aspects of his record that do worry the white house. it will be interesting to watch. they just a couple days ago, david axelrodaxelrod, the presi top adviser, he said it would be interesting because he was our ambassador a couple years ago and did not say anything about the foreign policy, and obviously when you are the

ambassador for the president you will not challenge his economic policies in public. this will be a way for john huntsman to step out of the shadow of barack obama. >> do you know his eye ten rare. >> reporter: he is heading up to new hampshire. that's a state that he is banking his candidacy on. he is not campaigning in iowa. obviously that could change. but he feels like is that not where he should focus his campaign. tomorrow he's going to south carolina. that's a big conservative test because that is a state that has eaton moderate republicans alive in the past. you remember what happened to john mccain in 2000, and he was savaged and did not work out too well for john mccain in south

carolina. huntsman has said to have won the magazine profile. he has had a lot of pieces written about him. what is key now is whether or not he can capture the attention of the conservatives in the tea party movement and those are the people suspicious of him because he was in the obama administration. >> he will face questions about his time working for the president as well, jim. looks like he will step up to the mike. let's take it live. john huntsman. >> thank you. i'm john huntsman, and i am humbled. i have been a governor of the great state of utah. i have been a businessman, and i have been a diplomat.

i am the husband of the love of my life, the greatest human being i have ever known, mary kate, for 28 years. i am the father of seven terrific kids. i am the son of great parents. who are here with me today celebrating a very important anniversary, including a birthday. i am from the american west where the view of america is limitless with lots of blue sky. i have lived overseas four times where the view of america from 10,000 miles away is a picture of liberty, opportunity, and justice. people secure in their rights and in love with their liberty. people who have done more good

for more people than any other nation on earth. and today, i am a candidate for the office of president of the united states of america. [ applause ] >> thank you. thank you. my kids can't believe i just said that. and i am asking for the greatest privilege americans can bestow on a fellow citizen, and you're entitled to know the reasons why. you see, today americans are experiencing through no fault of their own something that is totally alien to them, a sense that the deck is stacked against them by forces totally beyond their control. no matter how hard they work, save, and plan, the

opportunities are not there for them that were present for previous generations. perhaps saddest of all is we have lost faith in ourselves. for the first time in history, we're passing down to the next generation a country that is less passionate and less competitive and less confident than the one we got. this, ladies and gentlemen, is totally unacceptable and it is totally un-american. and it need not, must not, will not be our permanent condition. we will not be the first american generation that let's down the next generation. we have the power, we have the

means, we have the character to astonish the world again by making from adversity a new and better country. this inexhaustible land of promise and opportunity. you see, we have everything a nation could ever hope for. we have our freedom, we have rule of law, the longest surviving constitution, and aou abiding belief. we have freedom of speech, religion and press. we produce a quarter of the world's gdp and we're the most productive society on earth. we have the finest colleges and universities, and the most skilled powerful and selfless armed forces.

[ applause ] and we have character. character that made a new world from a wilderness. character that made the desert bloom and the cities rise to the heavens. heavens that made the world safer, freer, and more prosperous. what we now need is leadership that trusts in our strength. leadership that doesn't promise washington has all of the solutions to our problems, but rather looks to local solutions from our cities, towns, and states. leadership that knows we need more than hope. leadership that knows we need answers. [ applause ] we must make hard decisions that

are necessary to avert disaster. if we don't, in less than a decade, every dollar of federal revenue will go to covering the costs of medicare, social security and interest payments on our debt. meanwhile, we'll sink deeper into debt for everything else from national security to disaster relief. our country will fall behind the productivity of other countries, our influence in the world will wain. and the 21st century will then be known as end of the american century. >> high school dropout, and ex-governor, and now a presidential candidate. jon huntsman says he's in. e st t are energy security

the hill is that the initial drawdown will be about 10,000 troops. now we don't know an exact timeframe on that, but it's expected to be possibly by the end of the year. if that's the case, it's somewhat more troops than what the pentagon and military troop officials had hoped for. they hoped for 5,000 troops to go home this year and some staying on. here is the rationale for why some of the officials want to keep more troops in the country. we're having a little bit of technical problems. basically, to sum it up, the idea of the military thinking was that you would hold off on a military drawdown with some of the troops you would take out of the south, you would redivert in

the eastern part of afghanistan where the taliban has been potent. again, 5,000 maybe to start, that's what the military was hoping and looks like now from what we're hearing from sources, it may be 10,000 to start by the end of the year. that's still fewer than what some were calling for. you recall senator carl levin called for 15,000 american troops to come home by the end of the year. >> we'll be following that, of course. the fda revealing new graphic cigarette warning labels. they will carry one of nine warnings with the dangers of smoking. cigarettes are addictive. tobacco smoke can harm your children. and smoking can kill you. new packaging must be in place by september 2012. tracy morgan is back in nashville, the city where he spewed the anti-gay rant that

muslim radical black president. >> i don't think it will help. he is obama's buddy for accepting the ambassadorship to china. i think it's bs and don't think it should be held against him. >> he will certainly have a problem with this. he told the nation that he was a remarkable leader and now a few minutes ago he said the situation is totally unacceptable. what changed? he will have to explain that over and over again. a real problem for a candidate. this weekend the president attends a gay fund-raiser in new york. he came forward and said his position on gay marriage is constantly, quote, unquote, evolving. would his support of same-sex marriage be a win, will? >> he wouldn't be doing it if it weren't. i don't begrudge the ability for

people to change their mind but i have a problem with somebody that has their position evolve in accordance with the public opinion. >> i think it will be a political win for him, because i don't agree with will because unfortunate unfortunately, or fortunately, everybody in america is going through the same evolution. i think it's credible for him to have said that. he will light a fire of support not just in the gay community. i think it will be a win for him. >> well, it's great if you want to win the five states where same-sex marriage is legal, which have a total of 31 electoral avoerts, and if you want the other electoral votes you have to do something else. and ronald reagan was with him, and with them and the abortion

president, not budging. do we know when boehner is planning a vote on this mission? >> the republican leadership in the house has not decided where they're going to go. what is fascinating, it's not so much just about not wanting the mission in libya, because the house speaker said in general maybe it's not so bad. there is increasing anger on both sides of the aisle, and the president of the united states said he does not need congressional authority to go ahead and continue the mission in libya. there may be a couple votes on thursday to use the power of the purse to limit the mission. to give members of congress a way to channel their frustration with the president. there are no ground troops in libya, but it would be a way for

they want the time line. >> there are dangers in selling state assets? >> yes. the first thing to keep in mind is there may be resistance from the greeks themselves that don't want to see the state assets sold off for the cheap, and when you are privatizing and restructuring your assets ultimately that means unemployment and the greeks don't want that to happen because they are being hit so hard and that will have to be done with the higher taxes and government spending cuts and unemployment. and then before tomorrow ends, they brought back mckeon. the marlins have one win this month. mckeon says he wants to manage
