CNN The Lead With Jake Tapper August 18, 2021 21:02:00

dating back to that july 8th press conference he held, explaining why he was getting out of afghanistan. he said it was going to be a safe and orderly drawdown. and that is the way he's been framing this, essentially since he confirmed in april that this is the decision that he was going with. he did not say back in april and back in july that this could be an incredibly chaotic, as we've seen now the drawdown that has happened. we'll wait to see if there were more quotes from the president on this and what this is going to look like. but it is kind of hard to see how those answers there are going to satisfy a lot of the democrats typical allies of this white house or major u.s. allies that have been critical of the way this u.s.-led exit has gone down and what the last few days have looked like. and just one point of fact i'll note. whf he was talking about the plane that was crowded with so many people, that military aircraft that was leaving the airport in kabul, that was taken on monday. and the president said four or five days ago. but that was a picture i believe from monday.
