Sure. Read http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#built-in-rule and then it should be
apparent why this simple stylesheet will (well, should) do what you want:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="comment()">
  <xsl:copy/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="text()|@*"/>

</xsl:stylesheet>
