A new national poll released this morning indicates Americans would be split about supporting a plan to send more troops to Afghanistan. If President Obama decides to send 34,000 U.S. troops to the country, about half of people questioned say they’d support the decision, but 49 percent would oppose it. Still, the support for a troop increase is actually higher than the amount of people who support the war in general - approximately 45 percent.

President Obama met with his national security team to discuss the strategy for Afghanistan yesterday. According to the White House, he will announce within days whether or not he will send more troops to the region. The U.S. commander on the ground, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, has asked for more troops and many Republicans have criticized the President for the drawn-out decision-making process. Since September, Obama has met nine times with his War Council in the Situation Room. The White House defends its timetable, saying the President wants to make the right – not necessarily the fastest - decision. What do you think of the consideration process? Would you support a decision to send more troops to Afghanistan?

And the President and First Lady will host a State Dinner in honor of Prime Minister Singh and Mrs. Kaur of India. The President and the Prime Minister will hold a bilateral meeting in the Oval Office and a joint news conference later on this morning. The first State Dinner will be a black-tie event with many VIPs and Jennifer Hudson will perform. How important is our relationship with India and how has the relationship between India and Pakistan changed since the Mumbai terror attacks at this time last year?

On the evening of November 26, 2008, 10 young Pakistani men reached Mumbai, India in a small hijacked fishing boat, having slaughtered its captain and crew, and arrived unnoticed into busy port city. Over the next three days, armed with cell phones, machine guns and fruits and nuts for sustenance, the men unleashed coordinated attacks across Mumbai that left at least 170 people dead and more than 300 people wounded. Fareed Zakaria tells Anderson about the impact of the attacks almost one year later.

We’re also taking a look at what some have called the “Bo-tax.” As part of the health care reform plan, some lawmakers have been pushing for a 5 percent tax on cosmetic procedures, like Botox injections and face lifts. Randi Kaye finds one state where this has already been put into practice. But has it helped the state’s bottom line and how are people are responding to an implementation of the “Botax.”

And we’re counting down the days until the CNN Heroes Tribute program on Thanksgiving night at 9 p.m. ET. We take a look at one hero, Jorge Munoz, who is a bus driver in Queens. More than five years ago friends told him about large amounts of food being thrown away at their jobs, so in the summer of 2004 he started collecting leftovers from local businesses and handing them out as brown bag lunches to underprivileged men three nights a week. Within a few months, Munoz and his mother were preparing about 20 home-cooked meals each day. The numbers gradually increased over the years and recently they have cooked as many as 140 meals a night. Learn more about Munoz’s story and the organization he founded to feed the hungry tonight.
