MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, your successor, the current CENTCOM commander said ISIS could do an external operation against the U.S. in under six months. How should Americans understand that threat from Afghanistan? PRESIDENT BIDEN SOUNDBITE: Remember what I said about Afghanistan? I said al-Qaeda would not be there. I said it wouldn't be there. I said we get help from the Taliban. I was right.
MARGARET BRENNAN: You oversaw that evacuation and you've testified to Congress previously that the U.S. did not have any opportunity to take out that suicide bomber who took the lives of the 13 Americans who died August two years ago. But in recent months, a marine sniper has testified to Congress that he had the bomber in his sights, and he was not authorized to take the shot.
