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....

And masks. Don’t forget about the masks.
They’re the first ones to talk sh*t about guys with guns, but they love being surrounded by guys with guns.
She must not be an American, Jen Psaki told Peter Doocey in her press briefing today that “Bien did not strand any Americans”.
Does that tell us something?
That they’re more afraid of Harris than the moron in the White House?
“ 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.”

Not a chance! She and all the others like her will continue to strictly follow the directions/orders that come down from their “politburo”.
Never happen. Things like this will not change their minds.
She might have been scared. But now she’s on her way home to DD, to tell her friends about her experience, sip some wine on a patio somewhere and not give one care about what she just went through and why.
Why was Suzy even in Afghanistan? She knows the danger women journalists face. She put others at risk trying to save her behind.
Lol. I think at some point she will want to protect her dirty self against a person that is even worse. The ship goes down quick.
Her career & being a “I am Woman Hear Me Roar!” is far more important then those (Note assuming male SAS!) animated bags of sperm that saved her.
I know the Pentagon has been feckless but assisting our enemy is uncalled for.
Oh goody.
Max Boot too?
“Somebody supported this stupid son of a bitch Biden”
Bill Kristol, George Will, Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski, Eric Erickson, it’s a long list.

I would argue that they can disregard any order that is deemed illegal or immoral as that one is. But that’s just my opinion.
Well I could but I would break the sites rules and get banned.
Of all the vermin to have rescued. Should have sent Bezos in the get her. Now she can come back to write how great Biden is to send the Brits in to rescue her.
“I would argue that they can disregard any order that is deemed illegal or immoral as that one is. But that’s just my opinion.”
Illegal is one thing - that would be a defense.
“Rule 916(d) of the Manual for Courts Martial says:
It is a defense to any offense that the accused was acting pursuant to orders unless the accused knew the orders to be unlawful or a person of ordinary sense and understanding would have known the orders to be unlawful.”
Problem is - dumb, stupid, however we want to describe the current orders, I don’t think they cross the “unlawful” line. The media keeps telling us Biden won the election, they own everything he does. I hate to think how there is a very real potential more American lives will be taken than in 9/11 and 20 years of war combined, and the number of Afghan’s that will be killed based on even suspicions of working with the coalition will far exceed that number. The bloodbath is coming - they will likely hold out until 9/11/21 and then broadcast endless beheadings in their celebration of victory.
