WASHINGTON, April 14 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush is very concerned about global food shortages and has asked senior aides to look into how the United States can help alleviate the problem, the White House said on Monday.

Top finance and development officials from around the world called on Sunday for urgent action to stem rising food prices, warning that social unrest would spread unless the cost of basic staples was contained.

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said Bush discussed the issue at length with Cabinet members on Monday and "is very concerned and believes that (developed) nations have a responsibility to help those that are in need."

Oh sure. 'Global' includes the US. I don't remember him EVER being concerned about starving people HERE - much less elsewhere.

11. Simple: Let's invade the countries that have the food, and then use the food revenues

to pay for the invasion. That could work, couldn't it?

12. After all, one has to put food on one's family -- how can one if there are food shortages.

Perhaps Dubya will suggest that one use shortening.

And upon seeing only president doodleface's dinner in there, decide there isn't enough to share, and that will be that.
