fundamental problem here, pointing to michael's references to a seeming callousness on the part ofjoe biden. georgehat, he made it clear he would rebuild the nation and the military. that is not a 20 year plan, that is a multi—generational plan, that is 20 - 40 a multi—generational plan, that is 20 — a0 years. that's why people are depressed and disappointed, and feel that a promise has been broken. i would completely agree with that, it was a plan which people thought was an action, which is why started building their lives according to it. ifound it quite building their lives according to it. i found it quite chilling when building their lives according to it. ifound it quite chilling when i heard biden state on saturday that heard biden state on saturday that he said america cannot forever be involved in the civil war some of other countries. that's not why america was there, it was there to protect its own interests after 9/11, it decided it would get involved in nation building. this is the first big test of biden's leadership and judgment. and wherever you come from on the political spectrum,

president biden: we went there for two reasons, george. two reasons. one, to get bin laden, and two, to wipe out as best we could and we did the al qaeda in afghanistan. we did it. then what happened? we decided to engage in nation building. that never made any sense to me. pete: so peter bergen, this gets to the question that many americans are asking. how did it come to this? peter bergen: when you say this, meaning what? pete: to where we are now? in other words, who lost afghanistan? petebergen: oh, my god. that is such a big question. let's start with president obama announcing a withdrawal on december 1, 2009, at west point when he announced the surge of troops. we've been saying we will be leaving for a very long time. and then throw in trump and his agreement which was signed in february of 2020. we have been saying we're leaving for a long time. the taliban aren't reading the newspaper or listening to the radio or watching tv they had a long time to prepare for this and biden went through this in a major unforced error. 2,500 troops and 1.3 mi

president biden one-on-one with george stephanopoulos. the president said just weeks ago, a taliban takeover was highly unlikely. so, was the intelligence wrong or did the president downplay it? how the president responds. did u.s. military leaders suggest keeping some sort of a footprint on the ground? and if the u.s. doesn't complete its evacuations by the august 31st deadline, will troops stay to get americans out? and what about the thousands of afghans who helped the u.s.? >>> all of this amid the reality on the ground tonight. our team and what they witnessed just outside the kabul airport. fear and chaos. gun fire believed from the taliban, beatings in the streets, contradicting the taliban's promise of an orderly transition. tens of thousands of afghan men, women and children desperate now to board planes, caught in the middle. the pentagon say it was planning to get up to 9,000 people out of afghanistan a day, but just 2,000 in the last 24 hours. tonight here, the defense secretary is pressed, can he assure safe passage for ameri

president biden one-on-one with george stephanopoulos.st weeks ago, a taliban takeover was highly unlikely. so, was the intelligence wrong or did the president downplay it? how the president responds. did u.s. military leaders suggest keeping some sort of a footprint on the ground? and if the u.s. doesn't complete its evacuations by the august 31st deadline, will troops stay to get americans out? and what about the thousands of afghans who helped the u.s.?

george stephanopoulos with president biden there. we will play again in just a second. ari, to see the president come out today in the middle of what has been three, four, five days of chaos in kabul and give that speech about booster shots and then walk out of the room as a former white house press secretary, what were your thoughts? >> i always try to put myself in the shoes of why is the president doing what he is doing? he must have a good reason. when you hear the tone in those snippets of his interview with george stephanopoulos he sounds so exasperated with the questions he is getting. he sounded that way at that july news conference. why are you asking me questions it's a three kay weekend? i don't want to talk about afghanistan. joe biden strikes me as one of these people that's been around so long, has seen it all, heard it all, he knows it all. and so when he says to the military you are out. we're coming home. that's it. he doesn't want to hear all the complications the other problems that will ensue as a result of it. he just says i have heard all your excu

in an interview with abc news, george stephanopoulos asked president biden if he was flexible on his august 31 deadline. >> so americans should understand that troops may have to be there beyond august 31? >> no, americans should understand that we'll try to get it done before and iugust 31. >> but if we don't -- >> if we don't, we'll determine at the time who is left. >> and? >> and if there are american citizens left, we'll stay until we get them all out. >> so clearly saying that he would extend the deadline for american citizens, but leaving open the possibility of not doing so for afghan nationals. so certainly the president defiant not giving up ground at all saying it was not a failure, but that is an open question here. there are congressional committees already beginning to look into what indeed went wrong, how the administration was not prepared for the collapse of the afghan government, the rise of the taliban. those hearings will start next week. there is no question here that this is the biggest test of the president's foreign policy credentials, certainly his competence
