Tony Blair anticipates using combat force in fight against ISIS

London, UK (IraqiNews.com) On Friday, Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Tony Blair said, “it was the fight against ISIS fighters in northern Iraq and Syria could evolve over time and therefore involve the use of combat force.”

Blair said during an interview with CNN, that the president Barack Obama is absolutely right to take on ISIS and build the broadcast possible coalition. “We have got absolutely no choice to do this, not only to contain and destroy ISIS but to send a very strong signal to other terrorist groups in the region.” Said Blair.

The UK former PM noted, “You certainly need to fight groups like ISIS on the ground, it’s certainly possible that those people there locally can carry on the offensive against them. This will evolve over time I’m sure.” He also stressed the need to fight groups like ISIS on the ground. And asked about British subjects who traveled to Iraq and Syria to fight with ISIS, Blair said, “These people have been subject to an ideology that has come in from abroad. It is a perversion of the true principles of Islam.”
