美国总统奥巴马星期五继续和军方高层官员进行磋商，目前，他正在考虑是否向阿富汗增派军队。
奥巴马将在白宫和参谋长联席会议成员会面，他们是来自空军、陆军、海军和海军陆战队的军方领导人。
五角大楼发言人表示，在举行这次会议之际，总统已经进入了决策过程的“最后阶段”。奥巴马一直在审议阿富汗战争的各种选择方案，包括驻阿美军最高指挥官麦克里斯特尔将军提出的增兵4万人的要求。
星期五，美国国务卿克林顿在接受美国广播公司的采访时说，美国正在寻求改变其阿富汗反暴乱战略的走向。她表示，白宫希望避免重复走她所谓的”同一条老路”。
U.S. President Barack Obama is consulting with top military officials Friday, as he considers whether to send additional forces to Afghanistan.
Mr. Obama will meet at the White House with the Joint Chiefs of Staff — military leaders from the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines.
A Pentagon spokesman (Geoff Morrell) says the meeting comes as the president reaches the “end stage” of his decision-making process on Afghanistan. Mr. Obama has been reviewing strategy options for the war in Afghanistan, including a request from the top U.S. commander in the country, General Stanley McChrystal, for 40,000 more troops.
On Friday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told a U.S. television network (ABC) the United States is looking to change its counter-insurgency strategy in Afghanistan. She said Washington wants to avoid a repeat of what she called the “same old approach.”
