Sam kiley is in doha, qatar, and with u. S. Cnn military retired general. Orrin, let s start with you. What do we expect to hear in these remarks? in terms of the expectation of how this plays out, we expect austin and milley, and then some time for questions. Generally when these two spoke in front of the press, it lasted a tight 30 minutes and that s what we expect here. Second in terms of what we expect to hear, i think it will focus on a message of support and a message of absolute confidence in the troops, and a message of mourning for those that lost their lives in 20 years of war, including the 13 service members of lost their lives last wednesday, and then support for 8,000 other service members that served in afghanistan over the course of two decades of war. I don t think we will hear too much insight on the disagreements and the insights of going into the withdrawal and the process of the evacuation, that they are almost certain to keep themselves, and we hope to get in ther
Fighting people to keep their masks off and you saw what happened in los angeles. I m sure with people maskers and antimaskers. There is only one group fighting against it, actively. Other people may be doing it, you know, vaccines, masks, however they feel in the normal lives and the polling works out the wait that harry has it.

I m kim brunhuber. This is cnn newsroom. President biden is tripling down on his decision to withdraw american forces from afghanistan by month s end despite the mayhem that has ensued after the taliban took over the country. During a tense interview with abc news, job said he doesn t believe the pullout has failed so far and when asked if it could have been handled better, he said no. Biden then suggested the chaos in kabul was inevitable, but that goes against what he said last month. Listen here. Back in july you said a taliban takeover was highly unlikely. Was the intelligence wrong or did you downplay it? i think there was no consensus. You go back and look at the intelligence reports, they said that it was more likely to be sometime by the end of the year. You didn t put a time line out, you just said flat out it is highly unlikely the taliban would take over. Yeah. Well, the question was whether or not the idea that the taliban would take over was premised on the notion that som
