CNN The Lead With Jake Tapper August 16, 2021 20:36:00

a 20-minute speech, the vast majority of it was just reframing the big decision to ultimately withdraw and not hand this on to another president. but i will note, you know, just before the speech, democratic senator mark warner, the chair of the intel committee, had put out a statement. and at the end that statement he said it's going to be his mission to ask the tough questions and understandably that it is going to be hard to find the answer to this to why this did not go clearly the way that the administration had planned for it to go, that the american people deserve answers to that. and obviously all that served in afghanistan and their families and sacrificed there, they too deserve answers for that because of what they are seeing on the screen. so, though he had a political reframing that i think he did quite well in, looked totally in command as commander in chief. this was not a joe biden that seemed sort of overwhelmed by the problem.
