Tory MPs join US Republicans in condemning President's Afghanistan 'betrayal'
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] The UK Government is now in a race against time to airlift nearly 2,000 Afghan interpreters and other staff who worked for Britannia out of Kabul amid a growing backlash at Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences. So does Afghanistan, aka Biden's Bungle...
over his decision to stick to his August 31 withdrawal deadline. The interpreters are understood to have been deemed eligible to come to the UK and have passed security checks but remain on the ground at Kabul airport.

The Pentagon briefed this afternoon that there are currently 10,000 people in total waiting at the airport for a flight out of the capital. # id) ?>

2 'You have got to question Trump's moral fitness for the role, but you have got to address Biden's intellectual fitness and health fitness for the role.

4 Ques: Were the Marine casualties due to the suicide bomber blasts or our new Taliban friends protective small arms fire ?

5 B, I've seen the name of the corpsman who was killed but few other details.

Biden having completely blown off the Brits is going to disrupt the Dems' attempt to strangle the narrative. Even if the entire US MSM limits itself to reprinting White House press releases, the Brit press won't. The Torygraph twitter feed this morning here is unmerciful.
