Congressman Forbes says there is a negative view of the US
Congressman J. Randy Forbes (R-VA) says that he thinks across the globe there is a lot of competition with the United States, and there are a lot of countries that are anti-American. They work very hard at creating a negative image of the United States, and we have an anchor of truth around our necks. For example, he says, in the hearing I attended to today, a protester in a costume stood up and every camera took a picture. Sitting behind General Petraeus were six men and women in uniform, and if you looked at their stories in each of their lives, there is courage, commitment, and sacrifice that would make us proud. If one of them gets up, none of their stories will be told. What is public opinion across this country? They never see the greatness of those men and women sitting behind General Petraeus. What most of the world sees is not a true representation of America. (2:14)
