question of how poorly this was done. the idea that president biden ordered 2500 service members out and now is sending up to 5,000 service members back in, does that not on its face show the exit was ineptly planned and, again, look. you told me a few months ago on this program that you thought it was entirely likely the taliban would be taking over the country. but president biden just last month, quote, the likelihood there is going to be the taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely. he was wrong. >> jake, what we've done, what the president has done, is make sure we were able to adjust to anything happening on the ground. and the fact that we said -- he said addition -- sent additional forces in, we had them at the ready fully prepared to go in the event this moved in a new direction where we needed forces in place to ensure our personnel was safe and secure, to ensure also we could do everything possible to bring out of afghanistan those afghans most
