Stubborn as a Mule - Sputnik International

Seems as though it’s time to admit, after 16 years, that the US operation in Afghanistan is not as successful as was expected.

US Senator John McCain, the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, believes that Washington is currently losing the war in Afghanistan where the US has been conducting a military operation for 16 years, local media reported Sunday.

"We have no strategy. And we are losing. When you're not winning, you're losing. And the ANA, the Afghan National Army, is taking unacceptable losses," McCain told CBS news channel.
