NEW DELHI – With the stage set for secret talks in Qatar between the United States and the Taliban, US President Barack Obama’s strategy for a phased exit from war-ravaged Afghanistan is now being couched in nice-sounding terms that hide more than they reveal. In seeking a Faustian bargain with the Taliban, Obama&#160;risks repeating US policy mistakes that now haunt regional and international security.
新德里——随着美国和塔利班在卡塔尔筹备秘密会谈，美国总统贝拉克•奥巴马从饱受战争蹂躏的阿富汗分阶段撤离的战略现在使用了悦耳的措辞，其隐含的意思比表明的意思要多。为了与塔利班达成浮士德式的交易，奥巴马有可能再犯美国在当今地区和国际安全方面的政策错误。
