It’s used all the time to marginalize the left – to claim their [...] Via Glenn Greenwald (quoting I believe this DoD article): “As difficult as [the Iraq war] was … I think the price has been worth it, to establish a stable government in a very important region of the world” - Leon Panetta With “friends” like these, who needs enemies.
