The second question is whether US-led NATO forces will continue to play any role in Afghanistan. It is no secret that US President Barack Obama wants to maintain an American military presence in the country – a reversal of his declaration in 2009 that the US sought no military bases there.
第二个问题是以美国为首的北约军队是否会继续在阿富汗起作用。美国总统奥巴马希望美军继续留在阿富汗早已不是秘密——这与他2009年宣布美国不寻求在阿富汗保留军事基地的说法相反。
