they have reclaimed several areas of the city of Mingora from the Taliban. Mingora the largest city in Pakistan's Swat

Valley, that's a disputed area. According to the UN, more than two million people have fled that area from the violence, many

of them hold up in refugee camps.

President Obama says that he is certain he made the right choice. Yeah, He's talking about his Supreme Court pick in his

weekly Internet and radio released this morning, the president called for swift Senate confirmation for his Supreme Court

nominee Sonia Sotomayor. The president said pointing to Sotomayor's 17 years of experience as a federal judge as one reason

he picked her.
总统奥巴马称，他确信他做出了正确的决定。是的，他于今晨在其每周网络及广播讲话中谈到了其最高法院人选。总统需要的是参议院迅速对其提名人Sonia Sotomayor进行确认。他指出Sotomayor17年联邦法官的工作经验是其选定她的一个理由。

She was appointed to the U.S. District Court, serving six years as a trial judge where she presided over hundreds of cases.

And most recently, she has spent eleven years on the U.S. Court of Appeals, our nation s second highest court, grappling with

some of the most difficult constitutional and legal issues we face as a nation. She has more experience on the federal bench

than any incoming Supreme Court Justice in the past 100 years. Quite simply, Judge Sotomayor has a deep familiarity with our

judicial system from almost every angle.
她曾被任命至美国联邦地方法院工作，在作为初审法官的六年中审理了数百案件。近来，她在我国第二级的上诉法院供职十一年，成功审理了我国最为棘手的几宗宪法及法律案件。她拥有比近百年来所有新任最高法院法官更为丰富的联邦法庭经验，简而言之，无论从何角度，Sotomayor法官都最为通晓我们的司法体系。
