驻阿富汗美军和北约部队指挥官已经完成了历时数月的战略评估，并向美国和北约官员提交了他的评估报告。
在华盛顿方面,美军麦克里斯特尔将军说，阿富汗的局势是严峻的，但成功是可以实现的，必须作出战略调整。
美国国防部发言人惠特曼说，评估中没有具体的增兵要求，但美国总统奥巴马和北约领导人稍后可能会讨论增兵问题。惠特曼说，该报告被视为机密军事评估，没有计划向公众公布。奥巴马要求评估美国在巴基斯坦和阿富汗打击塔利班和基地组织的战略。
The commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan has completed a months-long strategy review and delivered his assessment to U.S. and NATO officials.
U.S. Army General Stanley McChrystal says the situation in Afghanistan is serious, but success is achievable and strategic changes must be made.
In Washington, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said the assessment does not include specific requests for more troops, but U.S. President Barack Obama and NATO leaders could discuss the issue later.
Whitman said the review is being viewed as a confidential military assessment, and there are no plans to release it to the public. President Obama had called for the U.S. strategy review in Pakistan and Afghanistan to battle a growing insurgency of Taliban and al-Qaida militants.
