"As the situation on the ground in Iraq continues to improve, I urge you to consider sending your military forces to Afghanistan where there is an urgent need for trainers as they expand their army," Gates said.
"Dok se stanje na terenu u Iraku nastavlja poboljšavati, pozivam vas da razmotrite upućivanje vaših vojnih snaga u Afganistan gdje postoji hitna potreba za instruktorima dok ta zemlja proširuje svoju vojsku", kazao je Gates.
