A Washington Post reporter has shared how British troops helped her and friends flee Afghanistan - as pressure mounts over US forces' continued refusal to leave Kabul airport.
Susannah George told of how she and the paper's Afghan staff were able to latch on to a separate evacuation led by UK troops, after spotting them and asking for help to flee.
That saw them hurriedly travel along a road to Kabul's Hamid Karzai Airport in armored cars driven by private security guards.
Those roads were being guarded from Taliban interference by UK service personnel, before making it to the security gate of the airport itself, which was manned by American troops.
George did not offer further comment on the troops who helped save her, but the UK's elite Special Air Service (SAS) have been drafted in to rescue Britons trapped in the war-torn country.
Her difficult journey contradicts President Biden's assertion that anyone with an American passports would be allowed through checkpoints....

One would think WaPo’s CIA bosses could have helped her out.
Somebody supported this stupid son of a bitch Biden.
As Susannah was being rescued did she demand to know how many transgender and non-binary soldiers were saving her?
Throw ‘em back!
“In fact, working in close coordination with the management of the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal, we have successfully evacuated all 204 of their employees in Afghanistan on U.S. military aircraft earlier this week.” - Biden August 20, 2021
I would bet the farm that she voted for Biden.
Enjoy the suck!
You’d think such enlightened and diversity believing libs like her would welcome an opportunity to live in a new environment. Guess this racist country isn’t so bad after all.
A small price to pay for no more Orange Man and his nasty tweets.
Was it as the Biden admin says - why the U.S. has not run armed escorts out of Kabul as the British, French and Germans have - or is it a secret deal Biden made with the Taliban (you can keep who we don’t rescue).
So even media translators and STAFF are being evacuated? Seriously? The translators who help the military are being slaughtered but the media translators are being saved?
Surprised I didn’t hear at least one dig at Trump for her situation.
British forces not biden’s funny generals.
Shout it to the whole USA. This administration has abandoned everyone and it’s for a reason. No idea why but he has done this intentionally. It’s gross and should be impeached but the dem majority won’t even consider it.
“... as pressure mounts over US forces’ continued refusal to leave Kabul airport.”
The US forces are much more likely very willing to leave the Kabul airport and rescue people - but are following orders to stay and not leave the airport. Their “refusal” is following orders - if they left they would be court-martialed.
maybe she will repent from her ways after her ordeal.
I suspect there are many realizing the error of their ways and may change their ways of thinking, acting, writing, etc.
Biden continuous failures have been that flagrant.
We will not be upstaged by the Brits. Send in the trannies.
Thank you, Brits! my president is an incompetent, America-hating, marxist, taliban-loving nincompoop.
We can hope reality might slap her in the face after this ordeal.
