...campaign to "marginalize" him into a political coup, telling any Iraqi who will listen that he is clearly no U.S. stooge. Says a senior White House official: "We expect Chalabi to be very politically active on the ground there." That may be the only thing you can count on from Ahmad Chalabi...
...human survival, but they didn't lead to obesity for several reasons. For one thing, the wild game our ancestors ate was high in protein but very low in fat--only about 4%, compared with up to 36% in grain-fed supermarket beef.
