>>>Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, setting himself apart from most other Republicans, said Wednesday he sees no obvious endgame to the war in Afghanistan and expressed grave doubts about how the United States extricates itself from a conflict that is now nearly a decade old.
"What's the endgame we're playing here?" he told reporters at a session hosted by the Christian Science Monitor. "I can't see a conclusion."
