拉登之死成美反恐戰爭拐點？

Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden. It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground. I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan. And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice. 　　然後，去年八月，在情報機構數年的辛勤工作之後，我得到本拉登的一份簡報。那時還不能確認，我們花費了幾個月的時間來確認這條線索，我和咱們國家安全小組的成員們不斷的會面，我們得到了更多可能性的信息，把本拉登的藏身地鎖定在了巴基斯坦很隱蔽的一個院子裡。終於在上周，我決定我們已經有了足夠的情報來採取行動，授權打擊奧薩馬.本.拉登，讓他得到正義的制裁。 　　Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body. 　　今天，在我的指揮下，美國發動了一項對巴基斯坦阿伯塔巴德的針對性打擊。一小隊美國人在超凡的勇氣和能力下執行了這個任務，沒有美國人受傷。他們很小心的避免了平民的傷亡。在一次交火後，他們擊斃了奧薩馬.本.拉登，將他繩之以法。 　　For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda’s leader and symbol, and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies. The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda. 　　在過去的二十年裡，本拉登作為基地組織的頭目和象徵，一直在策劃對我們的國家、我們的朋友和盟友們進行襲擊。本拉登的死標誌著我們國家在和基地組織的戰鬥中取得了重大的成就。 　　Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort. There’s no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us. We must –- and we will -- remain vigilant at home and abroad. 　　然而，他的死並不意味著我們戰鬥的終止。基地組織無疑會繼續尋求對我們的攻擊。我們必須——也必將——在國內和國外保持高度警惕。 　　As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not –- and never will be -– at war with Islam. I’ve made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam. Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader; he was a mass murderer of Muslims. Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own. So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity. 　　同時，我們也必須重申，美國沒有也永遠不會向伊斯蘭世界開展。我要清楚的表明，正如小布什總統在911不久後所說，我們的戰爭並不針對伊斯蘭世界，本拉登也不是一個穆斯林領袖，他是殺害穆斯林教徒的凶手。基地組織在很多國家，包括我們自己的國家內確實屠殺了很多穆斯林教徒。所以，他的死亡應該受到所有相信世界和平維護人的尊嚴的人們的歡迎。 　　Over the years, I’ve repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was. That is what we’ve done. But it’s important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding. Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well, and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people. 　　在過去數年，我也一直重申一旦我們確認拉登所在，我們可能在巴基斯坦境內採取行動，我們也是這麼做的。但要特別拿出來說的一點是我們的反恐是在巴基斯坦的協作下找到本拉登和他的藏身之所的。本拉登也曾經對巴基斯坦宣戰，也曾下命令攻擊巴基斯坦人民。 　　Tonight, I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts. They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations. And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates. 　　今晚，我給巴基斯坦總統扎爾達里打了電話，我的小隊也和巴基斯坦相關人士通了話。今天對我們兩國來說都是具有歷史意義的好日子，在這一點上大家都達成了共識。
