Defense Secretary Hagel Admits US Perceived as Weak Worldwide

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” in an interview with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, moderator Martha Raddatz asked, “When I travel overseas, people say different things about America. They say it’s not as forceful. Have you not seen that?”

But Hagel went on to downplay those perceptions and called the United States the “dominant” power in the world and that no one “comes close.”
