department of defense surprised at how quickly it seems the afghan national army has collapsed under taliban pressure? mr. kirby: we are certainly concerned by the speed with which the taliban has been moving. as we have said from the very beginning, and it still is, it is a moment for afghan national security and defense forces as well as our political leadership. no outcome is inevitable. i'm not going to speculate about surprise. we are obviously watching this just like you are watching this and seeing it happen in real-time and is deeply concerning. it is in fact -- the conditions are a factor -- a big factor -- in why the president has approved this mission to help support the reduction of personnel there in kabul. we are adjusting as best we can given the conditions, and again, this is a moment for the afghans to unite. the leadership and the military. no outcome has to be inevitable here. >> one last. if the taliban continue across and take kabul, what happens to the continued support that you had been planning to do for the afghan national security forces such as like the contracted air support o

do you believe the taliban has taken power by force? mr. price: there has not been -- there has not been a formal transfer of power. of course, it is a fluid dynamic. there are ongoing discussions between afghan leaders following -- reporter: but the question was you said you would never recognize or deal with a government that seeks power by force --the barrel of the gun. you are not prepared to make that statement, that the taliban had seized power by the barrel of a gun, right? mr. price: we are taking stock of what has transpired. there continues to be dialogue between afghan notes -- afghans. reporter: you say also the center of gravity has shifted from doha to afghanistan. isn't it clear the center of gravity was always in afghanistan and it was a waste of time? mr. price: look, we are not prepared to say that. we are not prepared to say that fort -- reporter: because what happened has been accomplished -- has accomplished a great deal? i just want to know. do you think anything that has a -- been achieved is accomplished? mr. price: t

mr. president. there has been some criticism even from people in your party even from people in your party, about the dependence on the taliban to secure the perimeter of the airport. do you feel like there was a mistake made in that regard? pres. biden: no, i don't. look, i think general mckenzie handled this question very well. the fact is that we are in a situation and as we all know that the afghan military collapsed 11 days before -- in 11 days. it is in the interest, as mackenzie said, the interest of the taliban that in fact isis-k is not metastasized beyond what it is. number one. number two, it is in their interest that we are able to leave on time, on target. as a consequence of that, the major things we have asked them, moving back the perimeter, giving more space between the wall stopping vehicles from , coming through, etc., searching people coming through. it is not what you would call a tightly commanded come up regimented operation like the u.s. is military -- u.s.'s military they are acting i
