The debate at the Cord: intractable?

Unfortunately I did not attend the October 10th Senate debate at Concordia College. If I did, I would have enjoyed a night of sparring between Kloubacher, Kennedy, and Fitzgerald.
Of course the attention was on the big guns- Kennedy and Kloubacher- who have been at it from the start of the season. Fitzgerald, however, did provide a few quips which I will delight you with.
The radio this morning gave Kennedy and Kloubacher the sound bits (albeit KFNW does not have an extensive news department, they borrowed the clips from WDAY). The announcer only paraphrases Fitzgerald's comment on Iraq as "It's in-tenable."
Intenable? That's a five dollar word meaning incapable of being held or defenseless. A fair comment that may have flew over the head of Joe Average. At first I thought he may have said intractable since he, Robert Fitzgerald, being a computer science major would have known the word. Therefore if the war is Iraq is intractable it would be, according to the specific computer science definition, unable to be solved in polynomial time. I'd vote for intractable barring the divine. Solved in our lifetime?
The other great comment Robert made had something to do with horse meat sticking to your ribs. He was responding to some bill that is/was/could be passed that gave some special attention to the meat of horses. Too bad that was not quoted on the radio.
