A Strike in Syria Restores Our Credibility in the World. (sharing for 'info.')
By TOM COTTON
'After President Bashar al-Assad of Syria once again attacked his own citizens with poison gas, the civilized world recoiled in horror at images of children writhing in pain and suffocating to death. President Trump voiced this justified outrage at a news conference on Wednesday, and the next day he took swift, decisive action against the outlaw Assad regime. But these strikes did more than simply punish Mr. Assad and deter future attacks; they have gone a long way to restoring our badly damaged credibility in the world.
It’s hard to overstate just how low the standing of the United States had fallen because of President Barack Obama’s failure to enforce his own “red line” ' blah blah blah

near an airstrip, banged up a few planes but did not make a single dent in the runway, allowing Syria to use the runway the very next day to conduct strikes near Hom? The missile strike that Russia was warned about even before Congress, which was not consulted, enabling them and the Syrians to move personnel away from the airport beforehand? The missile strike just like the ones Trump adamantly insisted Obama shouldn't do?
That "swift, decisive action"?
