white house correspondent kevin corke tracking it all. >> to hear him tell it, nothing could have beene differently to avoid the disturbing and deadly scenes that we have all witnessed in afghanistan over the past several days and now joe biden is promising to stay there, as you pointed out, until every american comes home. however, if you don't believe his explanation about the former, it's also likely won't believe his promise of the latter. it's an unenviable position for men whose government supposedly "prepared for every contingency." >> god bless you all and may god protect our troops. >> president joe biden once again turning his back on reporters at the white house and by proxy the american people. by refusing to answer pointed questions about the devastating debacle unfolding in afghanistan. instead choosing to leader sit down for a one-on-one interview with former clinton white house operative george stephanopoulos at "abc news" during which biden defiantly rejected suggestions that that evacuation could've been better handled. >> you don't think this could've been handled be
