F&L would tell you that tenderizing your meat is the key to a successful meal.

Iraq is no longer a threat to it's neighbors, but it is too early to claim success or failure or what kind of nation it will end up being.

bud and sol, no matter your fantasy outcome, it was not justified and morally wrong.  You heard what the reason were to go to war and they were all lies.

I find it sick for dumba$$es to try to deflect the argument.
