GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Mr. President, thank you for doing this.
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Thank you for doin' it.
...
STEPHANOPOULOS: So when you look at what's happened over the last week, was it a failure of intelligence, planning, execution or judgment?
BIDEN: Look, I don't think it was a fa-- look, it was a simple choice, George. When the-- when the Taliban -- let me back -- put it another way. When you had the government of Afghanistan, the leader of that government get in a plane and taking off and going to another country, when you saw the significant collapse of the ta-- of the-- Afghan troops we had trained -- up to 300,000 of them just leaving their equipment and taking off, that was -- you know, I'm not-- this -- that -- that's what happened.
That's simply what happened. So the question was in the beginning the-- the threshold question was, do we commit to leave within the timeframe we've set? We extended it to September 1st. Or do we put significantly more troops in? I hear people say, "Well, you had 2,500 folks in there and nothin' was happening. You know, there wasn't any war."
But guess what? The fact was that the reason it wasn't happening is the last president negotiated a year earlier that he'd be out by May 1st and that-- in return, there'd be no attack on American forces. That's what was done. That's why nothing was happening. But the idea if I had said -- I had a simple choice. If I had said, "We're gonna stay," then we'd better prepare to put a whole hell of a lot more troops in --

Using the Hillary Libya defense.
A testament to his incompetence and ignorance when he said no one had yet been killed when there are documented accounts online.
You misunderstand. Interviews with gerbilists are for purpose of supporting the Democrats.
He is incoherent.
Trump was smart. Biden is stupid. Never let a person run a large organization whose only management experience is seeing that his sister oversaw the Biden family foreign extortion ring.
Xiden has no comprehension of risks. Even Obama was smart enough to avoid such trouble. And remember, Bambi got elected (the first time) through his own political savvy. He ran his political operation whereas Xiden has always been a puppet of somebody else.
So dangerous to have someone of such incompetence in the White House. The people did NOT elect him. He is a total fraud and was fraudulently elected FAR, FAR above his paygrade.
Heels Up Harris is even worse.
Hey "DOCTOR" Jill, get your old man off the public stage. Enablers are sometimes more of the problem than the infirmed. You are a power-hungry manipulative disgrace for a first lady. And you're ugly outside, also. Ha.
I so miss the grace and inner beauty of Nancy Reagan, Laura Bush, and Melania Trump.
Throughout his almost fifty year career, he has gotten by by running a line of BS and not being challenged. He doesn’t realize that that sh*t won’t fly now, and he is very angry about it. In the interview, it is obvious he does not know what has been happening in Afghanistan, even during the months of his being in office. He continually falls back on obsolete sound bites which bear no relation to the here and now.
“Boxers or Depends?”
I didn’t read the article above. I didn’t want to feel nauseous at supper time. I just wanted to query: Why would anyone in their right mind give a bleep about George Snuffleuppagus interviewing the mentally incapable corruptly fake president? Asking for a friend.
Biden is using reprehensible Democrat tactics........trademarks of the conniving Clintons.
Whenever damaging info surfaced, the opportunistic Clinton response to extricate themselves was always, “Thats old news.”
Biden dismissed images of falling bodies from planes: “That was four days ago, five days ago!” he said in the ABC News interview (two days after the incident occurred).
Surprised he hasn’t said of the Taliban “That’s just an idea”
