Iraqi troop withdrawal
American soldiers are scheduled to withdraw from Iraqi cities and towns today, turning over enforcement to local security forces. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has declared June 30, "National Sovereignty Day" as Iraqis celebrate in the streets of Baghdad. Yet American and Iraqi officials worry that in the absence of U.S. troops, Iraq's cities will face a challenge from insurgents and al-Qaeda. What lies ahead for the Iraqi people? Larry and guests discusses the implications of the US troop withdrawal.

Tacos Baja Ensenada
Do not judge this restaurant by its cover, rather by the lines you're likely to find during the lunch rush. The famed fish tacos are made with flavorful, deep fried halibut filets that crumble in your mouth, wrapped in two perfectly grilled corn tortillas and topped with shredded cabbage, salsa and a rich cream sauce. For the adventurous types, there is a nice spread of condiments and salsas. The atmosphere is laid back and the prices so reasonable you'll forget you're in LA. By far the best fish tacos north of the border!
