OlderAngelina Jolie Visits Iraq
UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie traveled to Iraq and Syria to see first-hand the humanitarian needs there — the plight of hundreds of thousands of families uprooted by the ongoing conflict in Iraq.
According to UNHCR, “Yesterday in Damascus (Syria), Jolie visited a UNHCR registration center and spent hours talking to Iraqi refugees in their homes. Today, she crossed into Iraq to visit 1,200 refugees trapped in a makeshift camp at the border, unable to flee Iraq, and later watched scores of Iraqis crossing into Syria at a border checkpoint.”
“I have come to Syria and Iraq to help draw attention to this humanitarian crisis and to urge governments to increase their support for UNHCR and its partners,” Angelina said. “My sole purpose in both countries is to highlight the plight of those uprooted by the war in Iraq.”
After talking with stranded refugees at Iraq’s Al Waleed camp on Tuesday, Angie said: “it is absolutely essential that the ongoing debate about Iraq’s future includes plans for addressing the enormous humanitarian consequences these people face.”
While in Iraq, Jolie also took the time to privately visit US troops and other Multi-National Forces based in the area.

…………..While in Iraq, she separated from UNHCR to visit privately with US troops and other Multi-National Forces based in the area.
#32: Jane Fonda is not similar to Angie. Jane sided openly with the Vietcongs and badmouthed the US. She even posed for photographs that were used as propaganda by the enemy.
Angelina is an amazing woman. God Bless her family!
84 ANDROMEDA: i agree with you, her soul is beautiful inside and out,i’m sure her mothers spirit is always with her and guiding her,i pray that all the angels surround her and keep her from danger.
I really hope Angie will run for president someday. She is amazing, Magnificent, extraordinary.

Yeah, that was very cool on her part.
Angelina is a joke.
Everyone knows people are leaving Iraq! It’s on PBS and news. UNHCR should have waited so long to send their lame ambassador. Wake up! Celebrities are not journalists! Americans are so lazy they need some anorexic ***** to fill them up on news.
Angie hasn’t done this for her own pr the unhcr have just released an official statement saying about the crises in iraq and have said that the US government have just given 30 million for aid in iraq. The UN send her to these places where attention is needed. She doesn’t sit at home and say oh i know i think i’ll go to iraq.
Only 105 posts before Jennifer was brough into the thread. This is offically the JP & A thread.
132 micro–see I’m getting used to the new name:-)
Hi there and thank you for high lighting that b/c that was not a part of her UNHCR schedule but she went to visit them. I am going to keep an eye on the UNHCR web site, some pics and videos should be coming out soon.
Why is it that when some people bother to post to the Brangelina threads, it’s only to make idiotic comments like “The haters will be here any second now” or “The viruses are coming!”? Do they believe that they are prophets? Or, maybe they’re just so excited that the haters will be posting to the thread soon and that’s all they can think about. Truth be told, the Brangelina haters do write more entertaining comments than the Brangelina lovers. Admit it, how many of those “I love the Jolie-Pitts” posts can one person stomach in a day? What keeps everyone reading the threads is to find out what the haters will say next. Otherwise, these Jolie-Pitt threads would be boring, boring, boring.
How can you not love this woman????
UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie has flown to Iraq to witness firsthand the humanitarian crisis there, the United Nations Refugee Agency UNHCR has announced.
Santa Angelina flew from New York to Syria on Monday. In Damascus, she visited a UNHCR registration center and spend hours talking to Iraqi refugees in their homes.
On Tuesday, the mother of four crossed over to Iraq to meet with 1,200 refugees camped out in a makeshift outpost at the border, because they are unable to leave the country.
“I have come to Syria and Iraq to help draw attention to the humanitarian crisis and to urge governments to increase their support for UNHCR and its partners,” Jolie said in a statement. “My sole purpose in both countries is to highlight the plight of those uprooted by the war in Iraq.”
Besides her activities for UNHCR, Jolie also met privately with American troops and other multi-national forces in the region.
Giving back to the horny troops!
Jolie’s humanitarian efforts have taken her all over the world this year.
More celebrities should be like her!
Visiting the US troops? The AMERICAN troops? Wow! Will wonders never cease?
So, when this b¡tch is away from her charming little family, does she keep Brad’s balls in her purse?

You should see his naked pics, he doesn’t have balls.
WOWWWW!! What a brave woman! But of course, her heart is for a right cause. I hope she is well protected. I don’t want anything to happen to our citizens anymore in that part of the country. It is really time to heal and repair. Enough with this war based on greed and poltics.
God bless her for walking the walk. she is an awesome woman and i think a great example of what women are capable of.

How many GOD BLESS THE JOLIE-PITT AND MANISTON IS A HORSE comments you need to read to know these people are kids.
WE LIVE IN A DANGEROUS WORLD NOT ONLY IN IRAQ BUT EVEN WHERE YOU ARE NOW ANONYMOUS. WISHING EVIL TO SOMEBODY WHO DOES NOT DONE ANYTHING WRONG TO YOU IS EVIL. JUST WATCH YOUR BACK BECAUSE YOUR WISH MIGHT COME TO YOU.
I AM NOT AN ANGELINA FAN BUT I ADMIRE HER WORK.
Voting or not she is more american than those lazy ignorant fat asses complaining here while their countrymen, some very young, men and women, parents or not are dying here every day !
So way to go Angie !
I am not American but her move not only highlights the refuge problem but also remind her national public opinion that everyday some of her countrymen died violently while other fat ass complained about the fact that she is putting the limelight right there, including on those of her country who may die in the hours, days to come in the despicable ignorance and idifference of the same haters who by there rants really don’t care and show how unamerican their values are !
Because it’s dangerous to create journalists and experts from celebrities. Angelina has her own agenda and I do not believe she is a true humanitarian. I believe she is interested in world events. But if she was not interested in power and fame then she wouldn’t wait for the UNHCR to speak out about issues. She has never spoken out against the Iraq War. A lot of other celebrities have not only spoken out but marched in protests. Where was Angelina Jolie? She is a fake humanitarian only when it suits her. She is a complete narcissist.
