IN THE NEWS - More US Troops Going to Afghanistan as Obama Considers Next Steps

斯诺登:我曾是一名间谍 Snowden: I Was 'Trained as a Spy'
• In the interview, Snowden says he was "trained as a spy" and worked undercover overseas for the U.S. intelligence community. • Snowden is living in asylum in Russia a year after leaking a vast cache of National Security Agency documents to journalists that described clandestine U.S. spy operations around the world. In a new television interview, Snowden told NBC-TV news anchor Brian Williams that he never intended to end up in Russia, but was forced to stay there because the U.S. revoked his passport after he first fled to Hong Kong and then to Moscow. • Kerry called that "a pretty dumb answer" and said that if Snowden wants to return to the United States, "we'll have him on a flight today." Kerry said Snowden should "stand up in the United States and make his case to the American people."

The U.S. military's commander in Afghanistan says the campaign remains on track. General John Allen comments after the chairman of joint chief's staff, General Martin Dempsey paid a visit to the war-torn country to address the raising members of attacks on American troops by Afghan soldiers and police in last two weeks. The latest attack occurred yesterday in Kandahar when police officers turned their weapons on U.S. forces killing one of them. The member of such attacks is more than double what it was in 2011. In Washington, President Obama was asked about the rising member of attacks on coalition troops. He says in order to train Afghan forces effectively both sides have to remain in close proximity cautiously.美国军方在阿富汗的指挥官表示此次的宣传活动仍在正轨上。

Karzai Asks for UN SupportFrom Kabul Afghanistan to ground zero, yellow roses from the leader of Afghanistan.Karzai : “ I v’e come here to bring you these flowers from Afghan families to American families. We have that sharing of pain with you. A lot of pain, it’s from here. ”The plans to attack the World Trade Center towers were hatched【孵化】in Afghanistan. Karzai said he had visited the towers once before and almost forgot they were gone as he headed towards them. Karzai compared the tower’s fate to the blowing up of religious statues【雕像】back home by the Taliban last year.Karzai : “It’s as horrific(1)as the destruction of Buddha【佛像】in Afghanistan. It’s the destruction of life itself, of people.”Karzai wants to protect his population now from Taliban and warl-ord【军阀】resistance(2) to a new national government. For the first time he asked the UN security council to beef up the number of international peacekeepers and dispatch(3) them to all parts of Afghanistan and not just the capital Kabul like now.Karzai : “We hope that you would authorize(4) an extension(5) and expansion(6) of the mandate 【托管】o f these forces.”That would require a new Security Council resolution(7), which is no sure thing, despite the political charms(8) of the visiting Afghan leader.“Certainly if Chairman Karzai is proposing it, it’s something that we and the other members of the UN security council will have to look at in due course.”Senior UN officials privately(9) wonder how nations can proudly support the fragile(10) Karzai administration【政局】but not back up their words with troops. But the 17 nations contributing(11) forces are hesitant(12) to be an occupying(13) army in a lawless land.
