-led mission says the official notification to withdraw will be this saturday, but general austin scott miller begun in local areas. president joe biden has promised to get troops out of afghanistan by september 11th, putting an end to america's longest war. but many are warning the taliban will seize on a u.s. exit and could topple the central government. and u.s. vice president kamala harris tells cnn she was the last person in the room when president biden made the decision to withdraw from afghanistan. here is more of what she told our dana bash in this cnn exclusive. >> president biden always said that he wanted you to be the last person in the room, particularly for big decisions as he was for president obama. he just made a really big decision, afghanistan. >> yes. >> were you the last person in the room? >> yes. >> and you feel comfortable? >> i do. and i'm going to add to that. this is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage. is someone who i have seen over and over again make decisions based on what he truly believes based on his years of doing this work and studying t

i know scott miller and mckenzie, chairman mark millie and lloyd austin, secretary of defense, all hadns. there are risks. make no mistake about it. you could have a resurgent taliban, a safe haven for al qaeda again. we will be concerned about the progress women have made and will that be rolled back. as long as those concerns are laid on the table of the president. at the end of the day the president, as the commander in chief makes a decision, and we as the military, carry out the president's decision and that's what the military will do. >> they gave him advice. he knows what the risks were. do you think it was wrong for him to overrule and decide the other way? >> absolutely not. this is why people elect a president and commander in chief, to make decisions based on the facts laid out in front of him. the president looked at it. the president and military don't agree on all issues. from a senior military standpoint you just want to be sure you have the ability to voice the concerns, that the chief understands those risks and then it's their decision and we move outsmartly. >> the

so what i know for a fact is that joel scott miller, the isaf commander, the centcom commander and austin and lay out the risks of a departure from afghanistan. and at the end of the day, again, from a senior military perspective, that's the best you can hope for. and then when the civilian leaders make a decision, you salute smartly and move out. but what i do know is those risks were laid out. there is always the risk of a resurgent taliban. there is always a risk of al qaeda returning to sanctuary. there is always a risk to the progress the women have made in afghanistan. there is always the risk of a mass migration out of afghanistan. so nobody should be naive to those risks. now the responsibility of the military is to follow the orders of the president and do everything they can working with the afghan government to mitigate those risks. >> and if you had been one of those advisers, what would you have said? >> you know, my preference would have been to have left a small footprint in afghanistan, probably about where we are. but having said that, i understand the president's decisio

so the advice of folks like joel scott miller, the commander in charge of afghanistan, frank mckinsey at centcom, and of course, secretary austinsive experience in afghanistan. so from the military standpoint, we have the opportunity to speak to the president, to talk to him about all those issues that richard haases raised but at the end of the day, this is a decision for the civilian leaders. we are a professional military. our job is to follow the orders of the civilian leadership. at the end of the day, we will do that. >> for all the republicans hopping up and down on capitol hill, this new withdrawal date super seeds the date from the trump administration that they set in may. i don't imagine you are a big fan of hard and fast withdrawal dates or times off of any battlefield. >> you know, in general, no. here's what i would offer to you. based on some of the sources i've been talking to, i think they've come to the understanding that they can do a thoughtful withdrawal. again, recognizing that there aren't that many troops left. we've got to think about how do we get the american troops out? our allies out? and ensure tha

i know for a fact that joel scott miller, general frank mckenzie, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, mark milley, and second lloyd austinwhom extensive experience in afghanistan, they all had a chance to sit down with the president and lay out the risks and concerns. there is a risk of a surging taliban and a risk of losing the gains with the women in afghanistan. after laying it all out, this is up to the civilian leadership to make the decision. once that decision is made, we salute smartly and move out and try to find a solution to the risks out there. i think the president has made the right decision. >> but, admiral, we know from the afghan papers, the leaked government documents published in "the washington post" in 2019 that, quote, u.s. officials failed to tell the truth about the war in afghanistan making rosie pronouncements they knew to be false and hiding unmistakable evidence the war would be unwinnable. we were lied to, were we not? >> no. i don't know of any senior president that looked the president in the eyes and didn't tell him the unvanished truth. -- unvarnished truth. these are officers of incredib

i know for a fact general scott miller, general frank mckenzie, central command commander, joe mark milley, the chairman and secretary lloyd austintensive experience in afghanistan. they all have an opportunity to sit down with the president and voice their concerns and lay out the risks. then at the end of the day it's up to the civilian leadership to make the decision. our responsibility as a professional military is try to mitigate the risks and do as the commander in chief asks. >> people argue president obama pulling troops from iraq led to the isis rise. how do you say the same things will not happen now with al qaeda? can we fight extremism if we're not there? >> obviously, isis is a little different than even the taliban or al qaeda but we learned lessons from our time in iraq and as iraq began to unfold when isis grew. but here's what i will tell you, again, we understand the risks. there are the risks of a resurgent taliban. there are the risks of all of the progress that the women made in afghanistan and will that be drawn back? there's, of course, always the risk of al qaeda creating a sanctuary again in afghanistan.

i know for a fact that general scott miller, general frank mckenzie, commander of the joint chiefs of staff, mark milli and secretary lloyd austin, all of whom have extensive experience in afghanistan, they all have a chance to sit down with the president and lay out their concerns, lay out the risks. and you've outlined some of them. there's a risk of a resurging taliban. there's a risk that al qaeda will find sanctuary again, a risk that we'll take away all the gains that have occurred with all the women in afghanistan. from a military standpoint, then it is up to the civilian leadership to make the decision. once that decision is made, as a professional military, we salute smartly and move out and try to find a solution to the risks out there. so, one, i think the president has made the right decision. >> but, admiral, we know from the afghan paper, leaked government documents published in "the washington post" in 2019 that, quote, u.s. officials failed to tell the truth about the war in afghanistan, making rosie pronouncements they knew to be false and hiding unmistakable evidence the war had become unwinnable. we were lied
