Liz Peek: Biden's weakness vs. Trump's strength – here's what the difference means to our enemies

We have a president who thinks he knows better than his defense or intelligence advisers and who has personally engineered an historically humiliating and tragic defeat to our nation.

Americans are horrified that we have lost 13 heroes, that our country has abandoned friends and allies, and left countless countrymen behind.  The missile attack send a clear message to Assad that Trump meant business; it also served notice to Xi that, much as the Chinese press was eager to portray their president as "equal" to the American head of state, the U.S. was still in charge and not to be trifled with.
