Memo to Tony Blair: just SHUT UP!

I figure that Tony Blair doesn't even blow his nose these days unless someone else is paying to launder his handkerchiefs, so I wonder who's funding his latest outburst. The moneygrubbing warmonger has posted an essay on his website arguing that western countries need to commit ground forces in order to defeat the ISIS/ISIL threat. Air power alone won't do it, says he. He was on the news networks this morning with a deeply furrowed brow, delivering the same message.

These people never learn, do they?  Blair has never admitted that he and his pals in London and Washington faked the case for war against Saddam Hussein back in 2003.  Still less has he ever shown any sign of realizing that it was that misbegotten war that set off the mess threatening to incinerate the entire Middle East right now.

If we're going to send anyone in on the ground against ISIS, I nominate Blair, Bush 43 and Dick Cheney as the first guys to strap on the parachutes. It's your mess, gentlemen, and if anyone's going to risk their lives in a futile attempt to clean it up, it should be you.
