美国说战争战略显示出进展

A new U.S. government review of the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan and Pakistan says it has weakened al-Qaida's leadership and stopped the Taliban's momentum.

美国政府对其在阿富汗和巴基斯坦的战略做出的一份新评估报告说，这一战略已经削弱了基地组织的领导层，并阻挡了塔利班的势头。

The review, released Thursday, says U.S. strategy will continue to focus on defeating al-Qaida. It says the terrorist group has been depleted, but still continues to pursue large-scale attacks on the Western targets.

这份星期四公布的评估报告说，美国的战略将继续集中在击败基地组织上。报告说，这个恐怖组织已经耗尽了资源，但仍然继续寻求对西方目标进行大规模的袭击。

The report says that more cooperation will be needed from Pakistan to eliminate extremist safe havens along the border with Afghanistan.

这份报告说，巴基斯坦需要给予更多的合作，来根除该国与阿富汗边境沿线地区的极端分子藏身之地。

The review also says the Taliban's "momentum" has been arrested in many areas of Afghanistan, but that these security gains remain "fragile and reversible."

这份评估报告还说，塔利班在阿富汗许多地区的“气势”已经被遏制，但是这些安全成果仍然是“脆弱和可能被逆转的”。

The review comes one year after President Barack Obama announced the surge of 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan. It says the U.S. strategy is setting the conditions to begin withdrawing U.S. forces as planned, in 2011. Mr. Obama is due to discuss the review later Thursday.

这份评估报告是在奥巴马总统宣布对阿富汗增兵3万人一年之后公布的。报告说，美国的战略正在为美军按计划在2011年开始撤军设定条件。奥巴马将在星期四晚些时候讨论这份评估报告。
