Jolie In Iraq For UN Refugee Mission

oh and by the way, i think that Hollywood owes all the families of ousted actors & actresses because of their "little innuendo's" a huge apology for ending their careers like they did. today they actually pay people to continue and make "icons" of their virtue!! maybe they can repay those done in stars for revenue lost! personally i believe that the stars are in the payroll of the public.

Ps. Africa is a brilliant continent and we hope that the jolie pitts have their babies elsewhere!! how about HOME??

my my children. why are you getting so upset about the truth? aren't all americans about the truth? the "whole" nation voted for the current president and the shit he created for your country! the movies and tv shows which get bought by foreign countries are all about the TRUTH. is being moral not truthful? are all americans totally against all grains of respectability? from the sound of the comments i think i might have hit a grain that does not sit well?? breaking a marriage is ok - its a natural occurrence. maybe a crash course in manners, morals & etiquette is to be had by all of ya. your mommies failed to provide you with the necessary respect. how sad - america = sad place full junkies, greedy old people in politics, mommies & daddies swopping partners and the children!! alas dysfunctional. AND THEN the samaritans come in and advertise. Look at Mandela - he never once, not even once, sold his pictures for "charity"!!!! now aint that sumthing!!! hava gr8 day kiddies!!!

I wonder if she is appearing as Laura Croft Tomb Raider? Or mybe Mrs. Smith?

what a woman!

Just another fine mess it seems; Gen. David Petraeus, and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, will start to wonder why Angelina Jolie can discuss the situation in Iraq more intelligently than Bush & Condi ever did.

Wow Angelina Jolie is amazing. She is brilliant, articulate, caring humanitarian.

Angelina is extraordinary. She has said she was fearful of working for UNHRC, going to Washington to bring attention to areas of crisis, because, who was she? What education did she have? How could she articulate to powerful people? But, she said she did it anyway because her need to help was more important than her fear and insecurities.
She meets fear and goes through it. She commits with fears intact.And if you listen to some of her longer interviews you are struck by how intelligent and careful she is...doesn't just go shooting off at the hip. controls her comments with the goal of helping rather than blaming, and that has got to be a hard thing to do.

Boy....I've never seen Patreaus grinning so much. This is probably the best day of his job in Iraq.

Jolie's visit as a UN Ambassador focused on the refugees...the millions of displaced Iraqis that NOBODY but NOBODY of prominence in this country has even brought up for discussion over the course of this war - (and least of all the media because they're busy covering Britney). This country doesn't even bother to COUNT the displaced and dead Iraqis and never have since the beginning of the conflict - which demonstrates how much really the welfare of the Iraqi people was ever a motivating concern of this policy. She speaks of the children and the destroyed future they face for no fault of their own; how whole families are shattered; how it will take generations to mend the ruptures in Iraqi society. I give her credit for dealing with stark and horrific realities that everybody else wants to pretend don't exist or don't matter, probably knowing she'd be slammed for doing it.

I think she should run for office.

She's committed & smart. She puts her money where her mouth is. She is qualified, and she's a citizen. And she has every right to speak out about causes that touch her.

This may shut up the useless denigrators who doubtless are sitting on their a**es and picking their noses about the world's problems.

How about fat ass Angelina and shit man Pitt spend a year teaching in an inter-city classroom right here in good 'ole USA...or work in a Veterens Hospital for 6 months. No...instead they travel the lavish life-style on thier bullshit hollywood good-will tours. What the hell have you two pieces of shit done for THIS country? Gosh, that's right...we here in America get to bask in warmth of your enjoyment...enjoyment of your personal success. Once you arrive in Iraq...please stay...or stay in some other country you two weaklings visit. The war has been going on for 5 years...where were you two in 2004?

Conservatives don't want attention brought to the millions of lives that have been ruined by the people and policies they've backed. It follows their MO exactly. That is to completely shut their minds of off from the negative consequences of their ideas and actions. Even if it's something as overwhelming as a few million refugees. You'd think that church going folk would have a hard time ignoring that. Or at the very least not shoot the messenger who's trying to get the world to focus on their plight.

Wow! I can't believe the negative comments made about Angelina Jolie going to Iraq. She's a UN ambassador for refugees and children. I think a trip to Iraq is part of the job portfolio. She has certainly had a lot of on-the-job training for her role in the UN. I think it's great that someone like her is willing to listen to refugees, look them in the eyes when they speak, touch their hands, etc. They aren't just statistics on a piece of paper for politicians or war planners to toss about. They are people. The fact that she's also an actress makes her serious dedication to her UN job wonderfully refreshing. While others are getting their nails done, attending a fashion week in Paris or Milan, entering rehab, or whatever people in that position do, she's out there doing a hands-on job. Good for her! She's obviously respected by many powerful people; not for her acting abilities but for her humanitarianism. I don't understand how people can judge her so negatively. Her children seem happy. I applaud their family for being citizens of the world. I guess they've gotten over the isolationalist belief that what goes on the world won't affect them or their children's futures. It's too bad people who would criticize her efforts haven't had that epiphany.

Anyone commenting should view the whole video. She is calling our government out on THE WORST HUMANITARIAN CRISIS OF OUR GENERATION. I think she was highly diplomatic in her comments all things considered - but she made the point clear- our government is responsible for the chaos refugees are forced to return to and how we handle that will determine global stability, and we have to handle that NOW. Our criminal admin was hoping it would "go away until after the elections" She just f$#%d them on that.

Go Angelina.
