Rich Lowry: ‘The U.S. Is Not To Be Trifled with … After Eight Years of Passivity’

EXCERPT:

LOWRY: "Jon, this might just be a discrete event, a tactical decision that was made on the ground in Afghanistan, but it is hard not to read it in the context of missile strike against that Syrian airfield. So maybe these are unconnected, but I think the consistent thread, if they are connected, is an effort to reestablish the deterrent credibility of the United States for adversaries around the world, to send a message that the United States is not to be trifled with anymore after eight years of passivity and weakness, and you better pay attention."
