All the media outlets and most of the country supported the war when it started. Things got rough and the liberal media decided they didn't like the war after all and wanted to cut and run leaving a Iraq a failed state to be divided up between Iran and Sunni terrorist based mostly on the argument that war was un-winnable and the surge would be a giant waste of lives and money. Fox supported the surge and said we could not just pack up our toys and go home because it stopped being fun. The surge worked and we are drawing down troops and leaving Iraq’s fate is in the hands of her democratically elected government and you see Fox as the bad guy in that story.

That's different; spending trillions on the Iraq war is necessary national defense, just ask Fox.
