Biden said that although millions of Afghans would like to leave and come to the US, he can’t get them all out.

“I know of no conflict — as a student of history — no conflict where, when a war is ended, one side was able to guarantee that everyone they wanted to be extracted in that country would get out,” he said.

Asked how much responsibility he was willing to take for the way the withdrawal has unfolded, Biden said – he’ll bear some.

“I bear responsibility for fundamentally all that’s happened of late,” he said. “But here’s the deal… you know as well as I do that the former president made a deal with the Taliban.”
