US still has no path to success in Afghanistan, says John McCain

‘A bipartisan delegation of US senators have called for a new strategy in Afghanistan from the Trump administration to turn the tide against an increasingly strong Taliban insurgency and end the longest war in US history.
The delegation led by Senator John McCain was in Kabul on a regional trip that included two days in neighbouring Pakistan.
The visit preceded an expected review later in the month of the strategy for the United States longest war, now in its 16th year, a subject that was largely absent from last year’€s presidential campaign.
