Angelina Jolie: US Must Stay In Iraq

Weird, Mr. Tapper? Not when you consider that the majority opinion about the Iraq war is so close to that opion about the Vietnam war. This time, the liberal Democrats and Media are hyping so much about the current administration’s devious plot(s) to line their pockets and/or ignorance of foriegn policy makes a more culpable consensus to get out. Current technology and the embedding of reporters with troops is icing on the cake. The horrors of war are brought to your living room with no mention of humanitarian accomplishments.

Angelina is very respected and has her heart at the right place, but in this case she is confused. The humanitarian work has to be done by the humanitarian organizations and the military work by the militaries. Who does not remember Somalia when the US military has mixed military work with humaniutarian work, it was a disaster. Armies fight and win win wars, period. So the occupation of Irak has to come to an end because it is not sustainable and Irakis have to get up for themselves and build their nation. The UN has to play a central role in the humanitarian crisie in Irak, that is not the US army’s role nor responsibility.

Hmmm- Do I foresee a future Jolie run for President?!! To the commenter JRAM-Reagan was an actor-and he was a fine President.

Yea Jolie is so smart she’s even able to play video game characters. Genius.

I am shocked. Flabergasted. Bamboozled. Liberal media outlets not wanting to give any play to something that cuts across their world view? Weird? NO. Status quo for them. Why is the Iraq War no longer front page news JT? Is it because there is no news to report? Hardly. JT, you’re what’s weird, if you are honestly confused by the media’s non-interest in something Angelina says. What’s even more telling, is that Angelina is USUALLY given all the attention in the world by the media — UNLESS AND UNTIL she says something they don’t like. Then, nothing.

If the United Nations High Commission for Refugees goodwill ambassador Angelina Jolie would have said to get the coalition of troops out of Iraq immediately this would be front page news on all media.
She would probably even be asked to join the Obama and Clinton campaigns as their celebrity of the week. CNN, NBC, et. al. would be fighting for an interview with her.
But since she does not promote the media´s and Democrat´s agenda she will be ignored.

I find Angela Jolie refreshing, she was there in Iraq and saw the change, that gives her credential. I find it funny that the libs in this blog praise the celebrities that sell their anti-american stuff. but when a Celebrity tells the truth they come back with shes a celebrity what does she know.
Well I hope they are saying that about Oprah!! what does she know to tell us who to vote for!!
Angie always loved your movie and what you are doing in the world, you are one celebrity that is more then words.
Let us know if the libs in Hollywood turn their back on you for going against them and we will boycott all movies that come out of Hollywood until they see the truth.
The libs love defeat, the love the enemy, they hate America.

Angelina at least had a real issue to put out there. Oprah and the other celebrities have only stated, I won’t vote for him because he’s black, I’ll vote for him because he’s beautiful…get real….Angelina at least brings a topic to the table. Once again, money shouldn’t give clout, actions should earn political clout. It’s ok if all celbs aren’t backing OB, because there is a large portion of this country who is not and that is ok, also. Get over it.

I am confused. From the comments I read here the media is pro-liberal and yet many of the liberal blogs swear the media is anti-liberal or even going so far as to say they are in cahoots with the present administration. Dems and Repubs should know that there are a whole lot of people out there who are less concerned about ideology and more concerned about having a leader who will do the right (no pun intended) thing for god, country and the people of the land.

Yes, it’s really weird that this comment didn’t get more play….because I could never support a substantial shift in US foreign and security policy before hearing from Angelina Jolie.

Hillary has been to Iraq.

Angelina Jolie: U.S. Troops Want to be a Part of the Humanitarian Progress

Angelina Jolie wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post that makes a positive case for continuing U.S. efforts in Iraq especially with the serious refugee problem.
She offered this about the positive effect of the surge:
As for the question of whether t…

Did someone tell Angelina Jolie that Iraq is not Hollywood or a computer game where the dead come back to life after the movie or game is over? This is for real. If she wants to make a difference she ought to help bring the troops home or use her “special powers” to defeat the terrorist for America.

Did you guys see the news today. Iraq takes Americans billions and entertains the Leaders of Iran. Our military have captured a lot of Iranian weapons and Iranian elite guards working with the insurgents. What does that tell you? What’s the point of forcing change on people that don’t what to change? The so called surge is working because Al Sadar declared a truce for another six months. What happens when this crazy guy backed by Iran feels he has to fight the Americans again?

Comments such as Jolie’s make it obvious that she has not had any family members, let alone any children, die or suffer serious injury or disability while serving in Iraq.
We were all lied to about Iraq by men and women of a regime without scruples or any perceived obligation to anything but their own accumulation of wealth.
But, sometimes you simply have to stop the bleeding that you can.
Our own…

I’m glad Angelina is running for anything. Mr. Obama would have said “Where were you when I voted not to go to war” Did you speek out then or is it to save people who don’t want to be saved? Ah we all would do things different now we know we were duped, lied to, bullied, by the person we voted into office. Bring the troops home NOW!!!!!!!!!!

Don’t believe one optimistic word from any public figure about the economy or humanity in general. They are all part of the problem. Its like a game of Monopoly. In America, the richest 1% now hold 1/2 OF ALL UNITED STATES WEALTH. Unlike ‘lesser’ estimates, this includes all stocks, bonds, cash, and material assets held by America’s richest 1%. Even that filthy pig Oprah acknowledged that it was at about 50% in 2006. Naturally, she put her own ‘humanitarian’ spin on it. Calling attention to her own ‘good will’. WHAT A DISGUSTING HYPOCRITE SLOB. THE RICHEST 1% HAVE LITERALLY MADE WORLD PROSPERITY ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. Don’t fall for any of their ‘humanitarian’ CRAP. ITS A SHAM. THESE PEOPLE ARE CAUSING THE SAME PROBLEMS THEY PRETEND TO CARE ABOUT. Ask any professor of economics. Money does not grow on trees. The government can’t just print up more on a whim. At any given time, there is a relative limit to the wealth within ANY economy of ANY size. So when too much wealth accumulates at the top, the middle class slip further into debt and the lower class further into poverty. A similar rule applies worldwide. The world’s richest 1% now own over 40% of ALL WORLD WEALTH. This is EVEN AFTER you account for all of this ‘good will’ ‘humanitarian’ BS from celebrities and executives. ITS A SHAM. As they get richer and richer, less wealth is left circulating beneath them. This is the single greatest underlying cause for the current US recession. The middle class can no longer afford to sustain their share of the economy. Their wealth has been gradually transfered to the richest 1%. One way or another, we suffer because of their incredible greed. We are talking about TRILLIONS of dollars. Transfered FROM US TO THEM. Over a period of about 27 years. Thats Reaganomics for you. The wealth does not ‘trickle down’ as we were told it would. It just accumulates at the top. Shrinking the middle class and expanding the lower class. Causing a domino effect of socio-economic problems. But the rich will never stop. They will never settle for a reasonable share of ANYTHING. They will do whatever it takes to get even richer. Leaving even less of the pie for the other 99% of us to share. At the same time, they throw back a few tax deductable crumbs and call themselves ‘humanitarians’. IT CAN’T WORK THIS WAY. Any ‘humanitarian’ progress made in one area will be lost in another. EVERY SINGLE TIME. IT ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT WORK THIS WAY. This is going to end just like a game of Monopoly. The current US recession will drag on for years and lead into the worst US depression of all time. The richest 1% will live like royalty while the rest of us fight over jobs, food, and gasoline. Crime, poverty, and suicide will skyrocket. So don’t fall for all of this PR CRAP from Hollywood, Pro Sports, and Wall Street PIGS. ITS A SHAM. Remember: They are filthy rich EVEN AFTER their tax deductable contributions. Greedy pigs. Now, we are headed for the worst economic and cultural crisis of all time. SEND A “THANK YOU” NOTE TO YOUR FAVORITE MILLIONAIRE. ITS THEIR FAULT. I’m not discounting other factors like China, sub-prime, or gas prices. But all of those factors combined still pale in comparison to that HUGE transfer of wealth to the rich. Anyway, those other factors are all related and further aggrivated because of GREED. If it weren’t for the OBSCENE distribution of wealth within our country, there never would have been such a market for sub-prime to begin with. Which by the way, was another trick whipped up by greedy bankers and executives. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. The credit industry has been ENDORSED by people like Oprah, Ellen, Dr Phil, and many other celebrities. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. Now, there are commercial ties between nearly every industry and every public figure. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. So don’t fall for their ‘good will’ BS. ITS A LIE. If you fall for it, then you’re a fool. If you see any real difference between the moral character of a celebrity, politician, attorney, or executive, then you’re a fool. WAKE UP PEOPLE. ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. The 1% club will always say or do whatever it takes to get as rich as possible. Without the slightest regard for anything or anyone but themselves. Vioxx. Their idea. Sub-prime. Their idea. NAFTA. Their idea. Outsourcing. Their idea. The commercial lobbyist. Their idea. The multi-million dollar lawsuit. Their idea. $200 cell phone bills. Their idea. $200 basketball shoes. Their idea. $30 late fees. Their idea. $30 NSF fees. Their idea. $20 DVDs. Their idea. Subliminal advertising. Their idea. The MASSIVE campaign to turn every American into a brainwashed credit card, pharmaceutical, love-sick, celebrity junkie. Their idea. All of which concentrate the world’s wealth and resources and wreak havok on society. All of which have been CREATED AND ENDORSED by celebrities, athletes, and executives. IT MAKES THEM RICHER. So don’t fall for their ‘ good will’ ‘humanitarian’ BS. ITS A SHAM. NOTHING BUT TAX DEDUCTABLE PR CRAP. Bottom line: The richest 1% will soon tank the largest economy in the world. It will be like nothing we’ve ever seen before. and thats just the beginning. Greed will eventually tank every major economy in the world. Causing millions to suffer and die. Oprah, Angelina, Brad, Bono, and Bill are not part of the solution. They are part of the problem. EXTREME WEALTH HAS MADE WORLD PROSPERITY ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. WITHOUT WORLD PROSPERITY, THERE WILL NEVER BE WORLD PEACE OR ANYTHING EVEN CLOSE. GREED KILLS. IT WILL BE OUR DOWNFALL. Of course, the rich will throw a fit and call me a madman. Of course, their ignorant fans will do the same. You have to expect that. But I speak the truth. If you don’t believe me, then copy this entry and run it by any professor of economics or socio-economics. Then tell a friend. Call the local radio station. Re-post this entry or put it in your own words. Be one of the first to predict the worst economic and cultural crisis of all time and explain its cause. WE ARE IN BIG TROUBLE.

This actress understands the situation in Iraq better than any prominent Democratic politician, unless Lieberman still counts as a Democrat.

Hey i remind you all that America is losing in iraq. Plus have you not watched many mothers of the soldiers sent to iraq? They all want their kids back. The kids want to return there as well, and that war is not moving forward to anyplace, american troops are losing, american/iraqi soldiers are dying, poor iraqi citizens are dying, and no millitary purpose has been achieved. It is that war that makes george bush the worst american president. It is not logical at all for american troops to stay there, hoping they’ll achiever something. Cause they’ll no longer be able to cross that line they’re standing on!
