Blair Blast at ‘Weak’ PM
Not reported much apart from little snippets, is this nugget from the newspaper El Mundo in Spain. The article looks to be subscription only so here is what the People had to say.
Tony Blair has blamed weak political leadership for the war in Afghanistan being unpopular. The ex-PM claimed more people would support military action if they understood the threat posed by Islamic extremism. His apparent swipe at Gordon Brown came after he was asked why so many Brits opposed sending troops. He replied:
“Because what is needed is a very strong political leadership which knows how to explain to people the danger. We are not at war with the people of a country. We are fighting with them for liberation. The Taliban are still there. If we do not defeat them, they will again become as powerful as they were before September 11.”
Mr Blair hit out in an interview with Spanish newspaper El Mundo, which he gave last year but has only just been published following his appearance at the Chilcot Inquiry.He said Britain should be prepared to fight terrorism wherever it appeared, denying Afghanistan could become a new Vietnam.
I don’t normally agree with Tony Blair, but this is one exception and I also believe that this time he is telling the truth.
Time for Change.
