Tony Blair Calls For ‘Proper Ground War’ Against Isis In Middle East

Bliar must be running short of funds ahead of the Chilcot report

Tony Blair has warned the only way to defeat Isis is to launch a more intensive ground war against them in the Middle East.

“There is no way of defeating these people without defeating them on the ground. Airstrikes are not going to defeat Isis,” he said.

“Do not be under any doubt at all. If we want to defeat these people we are going to have to wage a proper ground war against them.”

Speaking in central-London, the former Labour prime minister dodged questions about the upcoming Chilcot Inquiry report into the Iraq War. He said he could not speak about it until it was published on July 6.
