“In the moment that I said it, based on what we knew at the time, It was a true statement. And yes, two days later things dramatically changed. I readily admit that. Things moved very very quickly,” Kirby told Fox News’ Lucas Tomlinson on Saturday.

“I am comfortable that while others may ridicule what I say and take issue with it, I am comfortable that what I am giving you is the best information I have the moment that I have it,” Kirby added.
