達頼我不評論....頒奧巴馬我也認為九唔搭八,但你可用另一角度看,如小布殊在位,以其牛仔作風,現今世界局勢會否有多戰爭?須然我認為奥巴馬行的只是帶有姑息主義的色彩.
Obama Quietly Authorizes 13,000 More U.S. Troops for Afghanistan
http://xoxo.foxnews.xoxo/politics/2009...s-afghanistan/
In an unannounced move, President Obama is dispatching an additional 13,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan beyond the 21,000 he announced in March, according to a published report.
The additional troops are primarily support forces -- suchasengineers,medical personnel, inTELligence experts and militarypolice-- TheWashington Post reported, bringing the total increase Obamahasapprovedfor the war-torn nation to 34,000.
"Obama authorized the whole thing. The only thing you saw announced in a press release was the 21,000," an unnamed defense official familiar with the process told the paper.
“奥巴马批准了这一切。你在新闻报刊上却只能看到公布的21000。”一个熟悉这一程序的无名国防官员告诉报社。
The report xoxoes as Obama weighs a request from the top U.S.andNATOxoxomander in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, formorexoxobat,training and support troops, with several options includingonefor40,000 more forces.
报道说，奥巴马掂量了来自驻阿富汗的US和NATO高层指挥官Stanley McChrystal将军的请求，要求更多的战斗、训练和支援部队，（请求包含）多个选项，其中一个是增兵40000。
But the newspaper noted that the maximumnumber of U.S.servicemembers expected in Afghanistan by year's end --68,000 -- wouldremainthe same.
而报纸也注意到，预期年底之前在阿富汗的美军最大数目——68000——将维持不变。
Major deployments of supporttroops have not been publicized bythePentagon and the White House inthe past. When former presidentGeorgeW. Bush announced a U.S. troopincrease in Iraq, he onlymentioned20,000 xoxobat troops and not theacxoxopanying 8,000 supporttroops.
The troop increase approvedby Obama brought the level of U.S.forcesdeployed in the Iraq andAfghanistan theaters to a total greaterthanduring the peak of thesurge in Iraq in late 2007 and early 2008.
Top Republicansenators have escalated their call for Obama tograntMcChrystal'srequest for more troops in Afghanistan, and oneprominentDemocratwarned that a failure to do so could jeopardize U.S.forces.
The Obama administration is deep in deliberations over whethertobuildon its counterinsurgency strategy with thousands moretroopsinAfghanistan or focus more on taking out top AlQaedatargets,particularly in Pakistan. The bloody clash this weekend atthePakistanarmy headquarters, where xoxomandos freed dozens ofhostagesearlySunday after militants attacked the facility,underscoredtheinstability in the region.
Senate Minority Leader MitchMcConnell, R-Ky., said the attackemphasizedthe "danger of the Talibannot only in Afghanistan but inPakistan aswell."
But he saidany attempt by the administration to scale back thefightagainst theTaliban in favor of a tactical battle against Al Qaedawoulddamagesecurity.
"They are different. But they are inter-connected," he said on CBS' "Face the Nation."
He said Republicans would "almost overwhelmingly support"thepresidentif he opts to grant McChrystal's request for moretroops,estimated tobe for about 40,000.
Sen.DianneFeinstein,D-Calif., chairwoman of the Senate InTELligencexoxomittee,also said thecounterinsurgency strategy pursued byMcChrystal is"really critical."She said the American people don't havethe stomachto stay inAfghanistan for another 10 years, but that themission thereis in"serious jeopardy" and Obama has an obligation tofollow hisxoxomander'sadvice.
"I don't knowhow you putsomebody inwho was as crackerjack as General McChrystal,who gives thepresidentvery solid rexoxomendations, and not takethoserexoxomendations if you'renot going to pull out," Feinstein saidonABC's "This Week."
"If you don't want to take the rexoxomendations, then you put your people in such jeopardy."
She suggested some elements of the Taliban could be won over,butwarnedthat the Taliban in Afghanistan will have a "dramaticimpact"onPakistan if allowed to flourish.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.,also said on CNN's "State of the Union" that the Taliban and Al Qaedawill bexoxoe "inextricably tied."
McCain, the rankingRepublican on the Senate Armed Servicesxoxomittee,said the presidentis right to take his time and deliberatebut that afailure to acceptthe advice of his military xoxomanders wouldbe "anerror of historicproportions." |
