Lawmakers square off over Obama's Iraq policy
議員為奧巴馬伊拉克政策辯論
As civil war rages in Iraq, U.S. lawmakers are debating what plan of action to take. Radical militants called I-S-I-L -- also known as ISIS -- are fighting government forces in the north. Obama announced Thursday he would send military advisers to the country. But he ruled out U.S. troops on the ground. He has also held off on granting Baghdad's request for air strikes. Speaking on Face the Nation Sunday, President Obama defended his position.
隨著伊拉克內戰不斷肆虐，美國議員們正在針對采取何種措施而辯論。激進的好戰分子I-S-I-L（也叫ISIS）正在北部抵抗政府軍。周四，奧巴馬宣布將向伊拉克派遣軍事顧問。但是他排除了派遣地面作戰部隊的可能性。他還拖延了巴格達提出的空襲請求。周日，在《面對全國》電視節目中講話時，奧巴馬總統為自己的立場作出了辯護。
SOUNDBITE (English) U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAYING: "What we can't do is think that we're just going to play whack-a-mole and send US troops occupying various countries wherever these organizations pop up. We're going to have to have a more focused, more targeted strategy and we're going to have to partner and train local law enforcement and military to do their jobs as well."
美國總統奧巴馬：“我們不能認為自己可以不斷監視與打擊，無論任何國家出現這種組織都派遣軍隊占領。我們必須采取更加集中，更加有針對性的戰略，我們必須與當地執法機構和軍隊合作，并未他們提供訓練，讓他們自己采取行動。”
But some believe swift intervention is necessary. Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio said dealing with Iraq was a matter of national security.
但是一些人相信，迅速采取干預措施也是必要的。佛羅里達共和黨參議員Marco Rubio表示，處理伊拉克問題是關系全國安全的事宜。
SOUNDBITE (English) REPUBLICAN SENATOR FROM FLORIDA, MARCO RUBIO, SAYING: "Without a doubt, I think this is an urgent counter-terrorism matter. I know a lot has been talked about the future of Iraq itself as a country and that's a very legitimate issue that needs to be looked at, but for me this is not about nation-building, or imposing democracy -- this is a counter-terrorism risk that we need to nip in the bud."
佛羅里達共和黨參議員Marco Rubio：“毫無疑問，我認為這是非常迫切的反恐事宜。我知道，人們已經就伊拉克作為一個國家的未來探討了很多，這是需要審視的合法問題，但是對我來說，這不是關于國家建設或推進民主制度的問題，而是我們需要消滅在萌芽狀態的反恐風險。”
Democratic Senator from California, Barbara Boxer, supported Obama's policy.
來自加利福尼亞的民主黨參議員Barbara Boxer支持奧巴馬的政策。
SOUNDBITE (English) DEMOCRATIC SENATOR FROM CALIFORNIA, BARBARA BOXER, SAYING: "We're not going to go back into that war again, ever. The fact is what you're seeing now is an outgrowth of that bad policy the neo-cons got us in, that crowd on false pretense that said, "Go in there." And as a result, ISIS was born. Let's face that fact."
來自加利福尼亞的民主黨參議員Barbara Boxer：“我們永遠不會再重返這場戰爭。事實是，你們現在看到的正是新保守派的不良政策給我們帶來的后果，沒有任何根據地說，‘回到那里。’結果，ISIS出現了。”
A Reuters/Ipsos poll released this week showed that Americans overwhelmingly oppose U.S. intervention in Iraq.
