Biden said in July that a Taliban takeover in Afghanistan was "highly unlikely," but the Taliban is surging.
He said he had "trust" in the capability of the Afghan armed forces, which are being routed nationwide.
The Pentagon says 'no outcome has to be inevitable here," but the situation is rapidly deteriorating.
In early July, President Joe Biden vehemently rejected the notion that withdrawing US troops from Afghanistan meant a Taliban takeover of the country was "inevitable."
