President Joe Biden angrily defended his handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying on Wednesday that chaos was unavoidable and snapping when asked about horrific images of Afghans falling from planes.
'That was four days ago, five days ago,' he said, even though the images of people falling to their deaths emerged on Monday.
The combative moment came during an interview with former Clinton White House official George Stephanopoulos for ABC News.
Biden has avoided taking questions on the Afghanistan crisis for more than a week.
The White House has been on the defensive for weeks as Taliban fighters raced across the country.
And officials have struggled to explain how they failed to forecast the rapid fall of Kabul and to account for chaotic scenes at the city's airport as the embassy was evacuated.

He’s not recommitting trooos.
If it had been 4 or 5 days ago, how would that have made it better.
************
It wouldn’t, and he was lying in any event.
If you watch the video it gets worse. He says he knew this would happen but did it anyway. Insane.
Biden be like: “Why you bringin’ up old stuff?”
Dementia Joe needs to start watching Seseme Street..Two, two days ago ahh ahhh ahh
Yeah how bad is it that even when you are getting your a@@ licked by Mr. Snuffaluffagus Biden still doesnt look good
“And officials have struggled to explain how they failed to forecast the rapid fall of Kabul and to account for chaotic scenes at the city’s airport as the embassy was evacuated.”

And also failed to explain how the Afghan president was able to escape with $169 million of our taxpayer money and how they plan on getting that money back.
He is so used to getting by with that “ tough guy” act of his.
The media is to blame for this fraud
Was he lying? That implies that he had some idea that it wasn’t 4 or 5 days ago. He’s out of it. Way out of it.
Withdrawal should have been civilians first, then equipment and finally troops. Good old Joe went straight to troop withdrawal and now has to recommit troops to save the civilians. The equipment is already lost with some going to Iran.
Way to go Joe.
Bingo. causes you to question the true intent of the way it was done...
Biden is what happens when the electorate isn’t allowed to ask questions about his mental status.
The Tyrant Usurper is a mass murderer.
It happens when all the electorate cares about is how somebody Tweets.
If you had evacuated the civilians before the military, the current disaster would not have happened.
Yes
He is indeed.
No way he survives that interview I have never heard anybody say anytging that pathetic
Biden really thinks this false dichotomy will work. We had to get out fast - his way - or we would be fighting a hot war, with our young people dying faster than from Corona for forever. But the war hasn’t been any hotter than North/South Korea since before he took office. There was time to do things in an orderly fashion.
