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.

#150: Why would she? Not everyone is anti-war. It behooves her to keep her mouth shut as she has to work with both dems and repubs if she wants to get anything done in Washington. Unlike other celebs whose purpose is only to be seen or perceived as someone with political leanings, Angelina is smart enough not to be trapped in that box.
no i don’t want them 2 die! that’s just horrible wishing someone dead!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
Rememeber when Brad was in India builing houses? well there is an account from a red cross worker who said that Brad did his little show for the cameras and then left. He said he was not serious about the work and he was a publicity *****.

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.

And you sir are a bona fide jackass!!!!! WHAT person donates a third of their earnings to NOLA; Doctors Without Borders; GAC; UNHCR etc. and is not a humanitarian?
Also re: the Fonda crap. Angelina donated $1 million US to the Aghan refugees through UNCR after 9/1 and people trashed her forthat despite the fact that many were fleeing the Taliban (and OBL) or had been displace by the Russians 25 years earlier and their homes destroyed, IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bless you Angelina and all you love and all who take care of you. I guess we know (sort of) where Shiloh is right?
I HATE U ALL 2.YA DUMB TWATS
The haters are in full swing because they are just so jealous of Angelina Jolie…….. the EPITOME of a beautiful, caring and loving WOMAN!!!!!!!

To all you people on here with your vile comments what the **** is wrong with you. You are the most discusting most pathetic people i have ever come across. If you don’t like her then go find someone you do like but you can’t stay away because there is something hateful in all of you that takes joy in what you come here to do. Truly pathetic.
………………………………………………………………….shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttttttttttttttttttttttuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
#154: you want to bring her name on here because you know someone is gonna bite somehow. It’s the only way she can keep afloat which is hilarious btw. Funny how you paddle that sinking boat to generate some kind of discussion. She doesn’t have anything going on…she’s a dead weight and you have to prop up her azz on the JP threads so you can say she still has relevance. Guess the sagging booty thread doesn’t have any more posters ha?
Has there ever been another Hollywood actress so much loved and hated at the same time? I can’t think of any.
no, almost there. not working at KFC ya twat! i’m frickin VEGAN an then i should work with kfc, no way!

Oh, god, PLEASE let her get kidnapped. What a phony she is.

Why don’t you get your a$$ up and do something productive in life instead of wishing evil on a person.
What a nasty, hateful, lonely person you must be to wish such hate on a person who is doing good, and not only that has children to care for. Go read a book, please
I if she really cared she would stay in Syria and Iraq and help fix the problem as opposed to just shedding light on it, does CNN and all the major networks do enough of that. We know it is f-ed up over there, so fix things rebuild a road.

Great Role Model specially for the young Hollywood!!! She’s doing a great job as UNHCR ambassador of goodwill. She exemplifies a woman of substance and the haters are so envious of her they are so green with envy. Keep up the great work you’re doing AJ & BP!!
a vegan workin at kfc would be just ridiculous
an i’m not 19 but you’re close though.
Fingers crossed she keeps her creepy **** there!!!
Why so much controversy following her name?
i luv her & i ll always luv her !! before the war , iraq was a very beautiful country but now after the war . . . i’m just so sad
anyway i hate g.w.bush & i ll hate him for life he really doesn’t deserve to be the american president it’s a desastre !!

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.

I wish I had been raised with the stability of two parents’ live as opposed to staying in the same tiny Ohio farm town, going to the same schools as my nursery playmates for 22 years and being abused. Thank you very much!

Remember when that was negated by Jimmy Carter himself and it was posted here? Brad spent two days with Habitat for Humanity.

IAWY. Angie is very smart. She shouldn’t pick side with either parties. As a rep for UNHCR, Angie must remain neutral in order to get aids/funding for the children and refugees. She learns from past mistakes. I remember way back in early 2006, she was bashing Bush but later on she praised himfor giving fundings to homeless childdren.
#258 She is UN ambassador. Get some education here instead of the hateful comments.
bampzs we have a lot to look foward to,i hope angie has a journal on the trip,i am happy
