Washington: US President Barak Obama has said that the momentum of Taliban has been broken and remaining al-Qaeda operatives are scrambling to escape from the US’ reach.
In his State of the Union address to the Congress he said decisive blow against the extremist organisations had been mainly because of the focused approach and end of war in Iraq.
“Ending the Iraq war has allowed us to strike decisive blows against our enemies. From Pakistan to Yemen, Al-Qaeda operatives who remain are scrambling, knowing that they can’t escape the reach of the United States of America,” he said.
“From this position of strength, we have begun to wind down the war in Afghanistan. 10,000 of our troops have come home. 23,000 more will leave by the end of this summer. This transition to Afghan lead will continue, and we will build an enduring partnership with Afghanistan, so that it is never again a source of attacks against America,” he said in his speech to the US Congress.
