hello and welcome to the lead. i m jake tapper. topping our world lead this hour, president biden grappling with the fallout from the way the u.s. withdrew from afghanistan. a senior state department official telling cnn that the majority of afghans who worked for the u.s. and applied for those special immigrant visas or sivs, well, they were likely left behind. pentagon officials saying that the siv program was never meant to be used in a hurried evacuation. the siv program is obviously not designed to accommodate what we just did in evacuating over 100,000 people. and so perhaps this program should be looked at going forward. it is designed to be a slow process. indeed it has been a historically slow process, one that a former trump administration official claims that the trump administration, quote, sabotaged. but that said, president biden took office in january, and his administration failed to expedite the process to get these afghan allies out, despite mont ....
