WASHINGTON (Pajhwok): The situation in Afghanistan, where the United States is fighting the longest war in its history, found only a passing reference in a 13-page confirmation hearing of Mike Pompeo for the post of the Secretary of State.
Pompeo currently is the Director of CIA. If confirmed by the Senate, he would replace Rex Tillerson as the Secretary of State. Tillerson was fired by Trump last month.
For the first-time after 9/11, Afghanistan or the Afghan-Pak region did not figure prominently in . . .
