New International Cuisine: Baghdad Duck

In what can only be described as a sure sign of progress in Iraq, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the head of the United Nations, paid a visit to Baghdad. While there, he met with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

Afterwards, the two appeared before reporters. Maliki took the opportunity to say that Ban's visit proved that Iraq was on the road to stability. To further emphasize this new "stability," a rocket or mortar round fired by insurgents exploded near the building. Ban then signaled his own faith in the stability of Iraq by ducking behind the podium as small pieces of debris rained down from the ceiling.

The two leaders then demonstrated international unity by cutting the news conference short and leaving the room, presumably to remove the shit from each other's shorts.
