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.

Angelina Jolie is a great role model. I love her passion with helping the plight of the oppressed people.
If you care about the American troops in Iraq, you will stay on topic and be interested in what is being said. I don’t care who you are.
129 Haters prefer americans like Miss South Carolina.
WRONG, I like and admire JS, she just happened to be on his show you moron which confirmed my thoughts on her.

When I saw on the People site that Angelina was visiting Iraq, I immediately thought to myself this is going to be hell of a day at JJ. I was right. Here we are haters going at it full force.
wow Angelina is a super mommy and humanitarian at it’s best!!! She is really one real brave soul..May God Always Bless her and Brad and their whole family..She really does make difference..Going to dangerous and war torn countries all for the sake of helping out and giving supports to her fellow humans is making me so proud to be called one of the millions of Angelina’s fans…Love you Angie !!!!Brad must be proud of her as well as their little children..Angelina, you are an Angel sent from above. and to the evil trolls/haters, eat dust and shut up!!!

It’s not brain surgery if you despise her so much then **** off it’s that simple oh but you can’t stay away because you need to trash this woman to make yourself happy you loser.
AJ is doing a great job using her celebrity status to bring focus to the plight of the refugees and at the same time she’s admirable showing support to the troops. Way to go Angelina!!!!!
Btw while all of you are God blessing her, she does not bless in GOD either - so enuf with all nonsense.

You have deep seeded problems and you need help.
*******************
It’s “deep-seated” - for future reference.
“While in Iraq, she separated from UNHCR to visit privately with US troops and other Multi-National Forces based in the area.”
I love this part because she doesn’t let anyone put her in a box…She will always be Angie no matter whether she goes, who she’s with, or who she’s representing…I won’t comment on the haters because negative only generates negative and I am all about positive. Brad and Angelina have always represented positive actions and words and that’s why I love them…
Great ! Angie is really awesome.
Be thankful that Angie cares… Haters, STFU !
Nobody can put a good person down. Angelina is a wonderful human being who is very aware and caring. She is a woman of substance. I’ll always pray for her success in everything she does. To all the fans of the Jolie-Pitts ignore the evil haters.
So Star and the NE were right, Owen wilson in fact tried to commit suicide. I wonder if they were right about angelina and Brad?
Stick it on top of your head - We need more ANGELINA JOLIE !

Whatever Jessica and Nick went to Iraq a few yrs ago, what took Angelina so long?
How about speaking out against the war or taking time to vote?
And how is raising your kids in hotel suites being a good mom?
Why doesn’t the adoption agency look into it?
Those kids come from unstable backgrounds to begin with and Jolie is not providing them with stability.
Also who can hate on someone who is willing do what most of world isn’t. I pray for people and may donate monies but I don’t know if I could challenge myself to do more than that. Could I actually go to such campsites and witness the horros of humanity first hand? Could I leave my comfort zone and go here and yonder for a worthy cause? Could I? Could any of us? I admire Angie, the doctors without borders, United Nations, Red Cross, and so many other agencies. Praying for the release of the Korean hostages who also went outside of their box to help others…God bless all…

#204 Quit wondering, use your brain and start thinking !
Also, stop being stupid for your own GOOD!
SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE POSTS…
206 Gupta nothing but Jen talk huh?
So easy to talk about Iraq qhile we’re siting in our houses or offices, so easy to talk, trash and fight about Iraq while we have, clean water, great food, a good computer and LOTS of free times.
So easy to attack and trash people we´ll ever met and pretend we know something.
So easy ….
All while real people are dying, getting raped, losing their homes, getting wounded, etc.
I lived in war zones, part of my family is dead because of war.
I’m not the biggest fan of Jolie but she’s there so I’won’t say a thing. I really don’t car about her intentions, either way no one had clean intentions, not goverments, not politicians, not the UN, not the companies..
That’s how our world works.
Again very easy to talk when you’re sitting in your house probably with a drink and food next to you.
