Bush’s War on Lima Beans

Please Mr. President, explain the merits of lima beans. Why can’t I have another vegetable, one that’s tastier and more texturally pleasing? Why does it have to be nasty lima beans?

As for Iraq, what is this job we need to finish? Is it one of the following?

Fighting the spread of Islamic extremist terrorism.

Spreading democracy in the Middle East.

Stabilizing a chaotic and ultra violent land.

Securing energy supplies in a region vital to US economic stability.

Making Iraq safe for the mass distribution of fast food and dubious financial products.

We don’t know what job it is that you keep talking about. Why not just tell us that we have to finish our lima beans. I never received an adequate explanation from my mother other than the fact that they were on my plate, and therefore I had to eat them.
