If she is really pregnant,couldn’t UN send another place at Iraq instead of her?she looked absolutly tired in CNN’s interview,all these things are dangerous for kid/kids.

hope she will come back safty and rest for the rest of week.there is always danger of miscarriage.she should take care of herself better,If she wants to have healthy kid/kids.

#21 what exactly do you think Angelina is doing for humanity?? she goes to some in need country for a few days then takes off. how is that helping? big deal, she got it some press then left.
she needs to worry about her kids she keeps bouncing around.

Greetings JP fans!!
I was thinking about the scum of paps following celebrities. I know there is a cry for new laws, why can’t we use the current laws to the fullest. There is a law about stalking celebs since the tv star of “mindy and mork was murdered by a stalker. Why can’t they use that law to stop the paps from stalking until another specific law can be enacted?

On the subject of using current laws to be used while specific laws are enacted, can’t the FBI investigate threats made to children such as in the baby of Charles Lindberg being kidnapped and killed be used to turn up the heat on all publications of any threat?
God protect all children and that includes the children of war.

Peace

hi senior

Thanks for the new thread Jared.

I am so proud of Angie and the good work she does for the UN and for those that are displaced throughout the world.

Keep on doing what you do best Angie, you make me so proud to be a fan of yours!

Jolie’s Baghdad Visit Goes A-List
1 hour ago

BAGHDAD (AP) — Note to world leaders: Next time you need instant access to foreign dignitaries and top military brass, forget the usual protocols. Just send in Angelina Jolie.

Hollywood’s globe-trotting leading lady swooped into Baghdad on Thursday to highlight the plight of Iraqi refugees, gaining an audience with Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, the American Embassy said.

On her mission as a U.N. goodwill ambassador, Jolie also met with Iraqi migration officials to stress that there needs to be a coherent plan for the more than 2 million internally displaced Iraqis who are beginning to trickle back to their homes amid a recent lull in violence.

“There’s lots of goodwill and lots of discussion, but there seems to be just a lot of talk at the moment,” Jolie said in excerpts of an interview aired on CNN.

Jolie mingled with American troops during lunch at a dining facility in the heavily guarded Green Zone, which houses the embassy and Iraqi government offices. She grabbed a red plastic tray at the mess hall, collected her lunch and sat at a long banquet table to eat — her fork tines down, of course — as flashbulbs from soldiers’ digital cameras lit up the wall behind her.

During the CNN interview, Jolie said the fate of Iraq will have an impact on the Middle East for years to come.

“And a big part of what it’s going to affect,” she said, “is how these people are returned and settled into their homes and their community and brought back together and whether they can live together and what their communities look like.”

Angelina Jolie calls for aid to refugees on Iraq visit
6 hours ago

BAGHDAD (AFP) — UN goodwill ambassador and Hollywood megastar Angelina Jolie visited Iraq on a humanitarian mission on Thursday and met top officials to demand help for people displaced by the war.

A scheduled press conference at the US embassy was cancelled, but the Oscar-winning actress gave an interview to CNN in which she said she wanted more to be done for Iraqi families driven from their homes.

“There are over two million displaced people and there never seems to be a real coherent plan to help them,” she said.

“There’s lots of goodwill and lots of discussion but there seems to be a lot of talk at the moment and a lot of pieces that need to be put together.”

The US embassy said Jolie travelled to Baghdad with Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs Paula Dobriansky “to discuss US humanitarian relief efforts for internally displaced persons and conflict victims.”

The trip, a statement said, is a follow-up to a visit by Jolie to the region six months ago and marks a “mission to support and implement joint solutions to assist Iraqi’s displaced population.”

The statement added that Jolie also met Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari and Immigration and Refugees Minister Abdel Samad Rahman Sultan.

She had lunch with American troops serving in Iraq after earlier meeting their top commander, General David Petraeus.

The actress also held talks in Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone with UN head of mission Staffan di Mistura and met a group of internally displaced people.

“Of the two million internally displaced, it’s estimated 58 percent are under 12 years old. It’s a very high number of people in a very, very vulnerable situation and a lot of young kids,” Jolie told CNN.

“So far, the different US officials I met with and different local people I’ve met with all have shared concerns, very, very strongly. They have spoken out about the humanitarian crisis, but there seems to be a block in.

“I don’t have the answers, but I know this is one thing that needs to be addressed and solved. (There needs) to be a real presence here to help count the people and register the people,” she added.

The actress, most famous for her roles in Hollywood hits “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” and “Mr and Mrs Smith,” said she would urge US and Iraqi officials to provide better security for UN refugee agency workers.

Currently the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has been unable to mount widespread aid operations within Iraq because of the daily violence that has wracked the country during its five-year-old war.

Jolie became a volunteer for the United Nations goodwill programme in 2001. She has campaigned on behalf of Iraqi refugees and has visited Iraq before.

In August 2007, she met some of the 1,200 Iraqis stranded on the border between Iraq and Syria and appealed for more international support for those affected by the conflict.

During that tour, Jolie left UNHCR officials to visit privately with US and other multinational forces based in the area.

The following month she launched a 150-million-dollar appeal by UNICEF, the UN’s fund for children, and the UNHCR to help educate one million children affected by the war.

Hi guli and all BAMPZS fans.
Isn’t it ashame that the most sexist comments are coming from women or girls? The same arguments were always used in the past, as a mother you shouldn’t do this as a mother you shouldn’t do that. What your a mother and your in the army, you could be deployed. What your a mother and you are an international aide worker. How dare you.

Mothers are doing dangerous jobs in dangerous places all the time. Ms. Jolie has more protection than most of them and she is not staying. Like someone said on the other thread. I am sure those 5 women killed in a Lane Bryant never thought they were going to a dangerous palce that day.

fierce @ 02/07/2008 at 4:34 pm when she was talking to that one soldier from Austin TX, did any of you catch how she gave him that look and tried to make her lips look sexy when he was talking to her…LMAO

===============

Yea. yea. Don’t you have anything better to do than to print this same sentence all over the internet?

What’s the matter? Didn’t you get enough attention with this shallow comment on all your other sites?

aeon–which century are these trolls are from??? ROTFLMAO
I guess going to Mexico and showing your goods just to get attention is the more honorable/charitable/caring/giving thing to do :lol: :lol: Okey dokey trolls :lol:

The people whining how Angelina is putting the baby in danger sound stupid. Just because she’s pregnant doesn’t mean she has to stay in bad for 9 months. Women are able to and have the right work. Celebrities film, perform concerts, ect while pregnant. Nobody called Halle Berry or Jennifer a bad mother when they did publicity and toured while pregnant. Get a grip people. If Angelina’s doctor say it’s okay to go to Iraq, if she’s pregnant, why do you have such a huge problem with it?

konnitiwa @ 02/07/2008 at 5:47 pm

Angie is amazing, isn’t she?
She visited to support the victims in earthquake-hit Afganistan and slept in a frozen tent in mountaineous village.
And she was pregnant with Shiloh at that time.
She was early third month at that time.

By the way I have a question.
Is this trip a mission for US government or UN ?

fierce @ 02/07/2008 at 4:34 pm

OK, I think you should quit your day job and take up writing fiction full time. Your stories are way too funny. I am dying here.

I read that was a mission for US government.

Guli…I’m fine and how are you? Glad it stopped raining in my neck of the woods and looking forward to a beautiful weekend. I hope that all is well with you and yours…Angie is such an inspiration. I’ll be praying for her safe return. I think alot of people feel their comfort zones may be threatened by Angie’s tireless and selfish efforts to make a difference or even Brad’s initiative to MIR. Some people do while others just talk. How can anyone be mad at that? God bless them…

I got a little preachy so I apologize. After reading some of these posts, you have go hmmmm…Well, I can’t wait for our baby dance after Angie confirms pregnancy…

This is a woman who obviously has great reserves of energy and stamina. She has to in order to work, take care of four young children, research and undertake U.N. missions. Many women like to sleep a lot during their first trimester and easily tire. Angelina just seems rejuvenated. No wonder Brad has his hands full trying to get her to slow down and just sit for a bit.

She’s breaking all the typical expectations and restrictions of “you shouldn’t do this” and “you can’t do that”. Clearly this is threatening to some who don’t like to see a woman unlimited by the self imposed restrictions. Maybe it makes them feel lazy or lesser beings.

I can freely admit that I don’t have her energy or fearlessness. But I rejoice in her spirit and accomplishments.She’s fierce!

What a great experience for Angie, the troops, and the Iraqis. I’m so glad she does the things she does.
We have a friend currently in the green zone it would be cool if he saw her, which if he did I’m sure we will be hearing about it,lol.
I love the pic of her with the kevlar on, shows what she is really all about and the lengths she is willing to go to in order to bring help and attention to those who need it. :-)
