Democrat President Joe Biden struggled during a mostly friendly interview with ABC News host George Stephanopoulos — who used to work for former President Bill Clinton — about his chaotic and disastrous pullout of Afghanistan, which has left thousands of Americans trapped in a nation now controlled by the Taliban.
Biden claimed there was “no consensus” in his administration’s intelligence reports about when Afghanistan might fall and that it was “likely to be sometime by the end of the year.”
STEPHANOPOULOS: But your top military advisors warned against withdrawing on this timeline. They wanted you to keep about 2,500 troops.
BIDEN: No, they didn’t. It was split. Tha– that wasn’t true. That wasn’t true.
STEPHANOPOULOS: They didn’t tell you that they wanted troops to stay?
BIDEN: No. Not at — not in terms of whether we were going to get out in a timeframe all troops. They didn’t argue against that.
