  Which is still a classic old Hollywood BS distortion. The US hasn't been "weak" compared to anything since the USSR collapsed, and probably not even when it existed. The US shown as "weak, disjointed, and behind the ball" is the classic tactic to show that some lame figure is a "credible enemy", so that any pre-emptive attack or move is justified -- since we're talking about "capable enemies" that could really damage the country. It's akin to putting a gun on the hands of some black kid the police shot, to make him look more threatening that he was.
