The US withdrawal from Afghanistan was wrong and based on an "imbecilic" slogan, former PM Tony Blair has said.
He described the decision to withdraw troops from the country as "tragic, dangerous and unnecessary".
Mr Blair, who sent troops into Afghanistan 20 years ago, said UK involvement in Afghanistan was not a "hopeless endeavour" despite the Taliban takeover.
And the sacrifice made by British troops "was not in vain", he added. Mr Blair said achievements in the country over the past 20 years - including a generation growing up without Taliban rule - was a "good cause" that "matters today,
He said the Taliban "will give protection and succour to Al Qaeda - you've got Isis trying to operate in the country at the same time".
"You look round the world and the only people really cheering this decision are the people hostile to Western interests," he added.

One reason Afghanistan fell is that George W. Bush took focus away from it by invading Iraq. And who helped little Georgie invade Iraq? Why, it was Tony Blair (UK’s prime minister at he time).
Maybe you should just keep quiet about damn near everything, Tony.
All of the above?
How many Biden slogans are there?
I’d say neutron bombs or nothing.
I think China owned him and will be pulling his strings as long as he is president.
Definitely trying to blame Trump. Donald Trump is the only leader smart enough, and honest enough to call the Globalists on their evil game of endless pointless wars that no one is ever supposed to win.
Don't forget
Caliph Baraq is my homeboy
There is a reason for that.
“The US withdrawal from Afghanistan was wrong and based on an “imbecilic” slogan..”
The US withdrawal from Afghanistan was wrong and based on an imbecile...
Why does anyone care what Tony Blair has to say?
You sound like BBC, pretending Blair was Bush's BFF even though he was a hardcore Clintonite and had ZERO common ground with Bush on ANY issue besides Iraq.
Apparently Blair didn't get the memo he was "Bush's lapdog" when he championed gay marriage and taxpayer funded abortion on demand.
“ or by getting out in an orderly fashion”
A/K/A losing.
“Victory being defined as the total annihilation of the stated enemy.”
When in our history did we ever do that?
Joe Biden called a “Retard” live on international news!
A geriatric imbecile doing Barak Obama’s bidding.
IMPEACH NOW!
Blair was being too kind.
imbecile (IQ of 26–50)
idiot (IQ of 0–25).
Forever wars can be ended the way Rome ended the war with Carthage.
I am 100% convinced this was deliberate by Xiden and the rest of the domestic enemies in his administration solely to boost China on the world stage. 100% flat out treason and if we had a real party, these traitors would be removed from office, tried and executed.
They leave behind US citizens and billions in US weapons in Afghanistan? Oh yeah, that was just an accident, yeah that was Joe just being stupid. No it wasn’t, it was deliberate to harm the USA as much as possible. We KNEW the domestic enemy party was hellbent on destroying the USA, well what better way to do it? We are now seen as pure pond scum in the eyes of the world and what’s especially disgusting is we all know nothing will be done about it because we no longer have a party
