7:24Now PlayingFormer British Prime Minister Tony Blair appeared on @SkyNews to tell former British troops who were injured or "made the ultimate sacrifice" that he wants them to know that their deployment in Afghanistan wasn't "a bad cause, it was a good cause." Sir. Your country is WAY less convinced of this than the U.S. is. British soldiers who died in Afghanistan's families aren't waiting for you to console them right now. Tony Blair wants to convince everyone that "the story of Afghanistan and the story of the Taliban isn't over yet." Well... that's true.

Emma Vigeland: Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was on Sky News over the weekend and you might remember him as the BFF of George W. Bush who was enthusiastic in aiding Bush's war on terror, much to the chagrin of anti-war activists within his own country and internationally. He still has the gall to speak on these issues despite being a national embarrassment for these positions and much of the British population having deep resentment for their own involvement in an illegal war, and also in Afghanistan but particularly in Iraq, of course, as other nations like France disengaged when they realize how much of a fool's errand and how faulty the intelligence was coming out of the Bush administration and their bloodthirstiness. But he's consistent, Tony Blair. Here's his response to Biden's withdrawal out of Afghanistan.
Tony Blair: Look, our troops were fantastic in Afghanistan and a lot of them made the ultimate sacrifice, a lot of them were injured. And it's really important that they know that this wasn't a hopeless endeavor, and it wasn't a bad cause, it was a good cause.
