Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., goes one-on-one with ABC News Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz about President Obama's national security speech, the IRS investigation and more, Sunday on "This Week."
In the first major foreign policy speech of his second term, President Obama defended his administration's efforts to pursue terrorists overseas, while outlining his strategy for a "new phase" in the fight against terrorism. Did President Obama's plans to limit the use of drone strikes go far enough for his critics? How will Congress respond to his renewed calls to close the detainee prison at Guantanamo Bay? Sen. Rand Paul responds, Sunday on "This Week."
And in a "This Week" exclusive, retired Gen. John Allen, former commander of international forces in Afghanistan, speaks out for the first time since being cleared in the Petraeus investigation. On this Memorial Day weekend, Allen discusses the fallout from the Petraeus scandal, as well as the deteriorating situation in Iraq, the ongoing fight in Afghanistan, and the battle against sexual assault in the military.
