Yet another reason for Tony Blair to be nailed to a cross and crucified.
After the debacle of British losses in the 19th century in Afghanistan, the writing was on the wall as what would eventually happen after the 2001 invasion.

With the American pull-out in Vietnam 50 years ago, and now the Afghan pull-out, Western-and especially American credibility is in tatters.

The Chinese and Russians will be taking notes.

Blair became very rich-allegedly as a result of being Dubya's poodle in 2001. A vile and corrupt politician of the first order.
