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.

I loathe that clown.
I wonder if they will leave the exchange in the interview when they air it.
If it had been 4 or 5 days ago, how would that have made it better.
RappinJoe...
As the world’s worst woman said: “At this point, what difference does it make?!”
Same thing happening as in Benghazi. Our president is allowing bearded savages to kill Americans and not stopping them. Covering up afterwards.
2 days ago senile joe
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.
LOL. Sloe Joe can’t even handle a soft ball interview with a Clinton operative.
Come on man!
Deep state operations.
The Ministry of Propaganda Epstein associate himself, snufflepugus, can’t put humpy dumpy together again.
It’s a fake interview, propaganda only.
Maybe it’s part of the easing Joe out process for the Canadian fake black-American from Montreal.
Exactly. And from what Trump said that was basically his plan, get the civilians out, get any sensitive or valuable equipment out and then pull the troops out. Biden did everything the wrong way. I suspect it was just the hatred of Trump so they had to do everything the opposite way he planned.
Which clown? Joe or George?
If you want Sleepy46 to remember a specific day, just remind him what flavor jell-o the nurse gave him that day.
Utterly incompetent. Turned over Bagram airbase with out even notifying the Afghans, , got troops out with no plans for American civilians, nothing to deal with equipment. Of course Biden could not imagine a withdrawal with out total chaos because he is demented.
Joe Biden’s political honeymoon is officially over

Somehow the pics of cages for migrant kids taken in 2014 were still Trump’s fault. So Alas! Babble on.
Biden snaps at everyone Jill should get him neutered
