(AFP) - Despite fierce public pressure to end the war in Afghanistan eight years on, politicians and experts decried calls for setting an exit date they say would embolden the Taliban. 'History shows us that if you set dates for when you're going to leave, the enemy waits until you leave,' US Senator John McCain said at the Halifax International Defense Forum in easternmost Canada.
