From The Atlantic, where Andrew Sullivan uses it to explain why the US is not leaving Iraq, noting that "Kuwait was worth rescuing, wasn't it?"

Saudi reserves are quite suspect (they are not subject to any objective review).
Perhaps a better response on Japan's part would have been to say "no thanks" to the US in Iraq, go ahead with developing Iranian oil and gas and work overtime on powering down and getting off the fossil fuel addiction.
Yeah, that'll happen.
