This year also saw Iraq hold credible elections that drew a strong turnout. A caretaker administration is in place as Iraqis form a government based on the results of that election. Tonight, I encourage Iraq's leaders to move forward with a sense of urgency to form an inclusive government that is just, representative, and accountable to the Iraqi people. And when that government is in place, there should be no doubt: the Iraqi people will have a strong partner in the United States. Our combat mission is ending, but our commitment to Iraq's future is not.

今年也是伊拉克举行可信大选的年份，有望吸引大量选民参加投票。在根据大选结果组建以阿拉克政府之前，伊拉克需要一个看守政府。今晚，我希望伊拉克领导人 能够感受到紧迫感，尽快组建代表伊拉克、对人民负责的政府。当这个政府成立后，伊拉克人毫无疑问将成为美国最亲密的伙伴。我们的战斗任务正在结束，但是我 们对伊拉克未来的承诺还没有兑现。

Going forward, a transitional force of U.S. troops will remain in Iraq with a different mission: advising and assisting Iraq's Security Forces; supporting Iraqi troops in targeted counter-terrorism missions; and protecting our civilians. Consistent with our agreement with the Iraqi government, all U.S. troops will leave by the end of next year. As our military draws down, our dedicated civilians -diplomats, aid workers, and advisors -are moving into the lead to support Iraq as it strengthens its government, resolves political disputes, resettles those displaced by war, and builds ties with the region and the world. And that is a message that Vice President Biden is delivering to the Iraqi people through his visit there today.

美国军队的过渡力量依然留在伊拉克，他们将承担不同的任务：为伊拉克安全部队提供建议和帮助；支持伊拉克军队针对恐怖主义的行动；保护美国公民。按照与伊拉克政府签署的协议，所有美国军队将在2011年末撤离。当军队撤离后，我们的平民人员，包括外交官、援助人员以及顾问，将成为支持伊拉克建立稳定政府、解决政治纠纷、重新安置战争流民、帮助伊拉克与地区和世界各国建立联系的领导力量。这也是副总统拜登访问伊拉克，向当地人传送的消息。

This new approach reflects our long-term partnership with Iraq-one based upon mutual interests, and mutual respect. Of course, violence will not end with our combat mission. Extremists will continue to set off bombs, attack Iraqi civilians and try to spark sectarian strife. But ultimately, these terrorists will fail to achieve their go
