Fox guest: "It doesn't have to lead to war, and that's not what the president wants to do. Right now, we have the leverage. Iran has more to lose than we do, and they know it." Steve Doocy: "I think you're absolutely right."pic.twitter.com/KNbkjQdaqi

Ainsley Earhardt: "[Biden] wants the president to explain his strategy to the American people ... but how much detail does a president need to explain?" Brian Kilmeade: "The question is, we've seen [Biden's] strategy and we're paying the price for it now, you would argue."pic.twitter.com/CeTKv7yeRz

Ainsley Earhardt tries to pressure a Fox guest into outlining a US retaliation to the Iranian missile attack, but he insists now is a time for negotiations, not to "respond in kind" -- because, he says, Iran is already "on notice" after the Soleimani assassination.pic.twitter.com/OMsS5dhXw5

Fox guest insists now is "not the time for politics" because "we need to stand behind the president, we need to stand behind the troops," and it's inappropriate for Democrats to ask about the president's plan because "he does have a plan."pic.twitter.com/4de3e3UJZu

Brian Kilmeade: "The U.S. wants a diplomatic solution with Iran, but, what could a potential military strike look like? Retired Lt. Gen. will be joining us now on why we may need to call in the Air Force next."pic.twitter.com/hmIbwSAhLl

That general, previewed as a warmonger, actually advised Trump "step back" from targeting military infrastructure/oil production, because he thinks the lack of US casualties shows the Soleimani strike "restored deterrence" and there's enough US military assets to continue it.

Fox guest calls for the US Navy "along with other navies" to secure the Strait of Hormuz as an "international waterway" to prevent Iran from disrupting global oil supplies, even though he also says fracking means that US-Iran tensions will have a "minimal effect" on oil supplies.pic.twitter.com/jGBfiogC2g

After saying that Trump should "step back, de-escalate, and not have a wider conflict," this Fox guest also says the US should "assume a worldwide leadership role" to eliminate violent threats from the Middle East, Africa, and more.pic.twitter.com/NQMMADjnw7

Mike Huckabee's huckster ass compares US Middle East policy to "an old fairy tale I grew up with, The Three Bears" (he means Goldilocks): The Iraq War was "too hot," Obama's "appeasement" was "too cold," and now Trump is just "right."pic.twitter.com/kM6YvKH8U8

Fox guest lies that until Trump, the US government spent "decades" refusing to even recognize that Iran does terrorism, swiftly memory-holing Clinton's sanctions, Bush's Axis of Evil speech, every time Obama defended the Iran Deal, and more.pic.twitter.com/V65IHpKM7g
