Angelina Jolie in Iraq (Not Jordan)

Angelina Jolie in Iraq (Not Jordan)

Angelina Jolie is serving in Iraq, not Jordan as previously reported.

As goodwill ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, the 32-year-old do-gooder was on a mission to highlight the plight of Iraqi refugees in Baghdad on Thursday.

Jolie is promoting action to help the two million people displaced by Iraq’s war.

“There’s lots of goodwill and lots of discussion, but there seems to be just a lot of talk at the moment,” Jolie told CNN in an exclusive interview. “What happens in Iraq and how Iraq settles in the years to come is going to affect the entire Middle East. And a big part of what it’s going to affect, how it settles, 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.”

Angie was also seen boosting the spirits of American troops, dropping by their dining facility for lunch in the heavily guarded Green Zone, which houses the embassy and Iraqi government offices in central Baghdad.

She is incredible! Sultry star and award winning actress, model,devoted earth mother of four, activist, humanitarian,pilot and, among other things, loving wife.

D*** right I admire her - who wouldn’t??

#72 Lylian:

Had to come out of lurking to thank you for this excellent, well-thought-out and well-phrased post. I apprciate you putting your thoughts in such a clear-cut, precise and objective manner.

Haven’t been posting much lately because I disagreed with Jared’s latest threads, too much tabloid crapola. And he never answers emails anymore, or at least he never answered mine, whereas before he used to, even with just one-liners. And sometimes fans themselves can just bite other fans who may have posted something they disagreed with. But if you, AG and some of the more level-headed posters still post here at JustJared, then there is still hope.

Ha
She is helping children of this conflict. She was at the Clinton Global seminar a few months back addressing this very thing and she has partnered up with unicef about getting education for children of conflicts which she herself donated to. Just do the research and you will see for yourself.

good morning, ladies :)

hey I Love Shiloh !!! here is your video :lol:

She is an inspiration & you know how this visit to the troops mean? A lot & it just shows how she is as a person & how Ange accomplished a lot & she is not doing it for personal gain it’s her passion & love for the people of war torn countries. I agree with some of you, she is a lot better than those others in HW who prefer to sit down & be glamorous at all time & doing nothing to help others. I wish I can do what she does, she is using her popularity in a nice way, she is making a lot of difference to a lot of people. Go Ange. God bless you always & to our troops in Iraq & Afghanistan be safe & we are proud of you. I’m sure Brad is proud of you & your kids too.

I just have to comment on how AMAZING WOMAN ANGELINA JOLIE is, don’t care what the haters says…..ACTIONS SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS!!!! She walks the walk, very brave, and do what she thinks is right , tryly an angel.

That’s what you called CHANGE and IMPROVEMENT. Her mother must be very proud of her in heaven, always looking down at her and having the biggest smile.

Ha!
If everyone had your mindset, “same ****, different day”, nothing would get done. Change takes time, doesn’t happen overnight.

Nancy, Why don’t you should go instead. You’re more than capable than Angelina, right?

What a lady, very much informed of the world & how her celebrity status is used on a positive & influenced others to do the right thing to give noticed to the flights of the unfortunate ones in the refugee camps. Thanks Ange for a job well done. When you talk people listens. Lovely lady in & out.

I’m proud to be your fan Angie.
Stay safe and keep up the good work.

there a picture in jjb that show her belly is big

Seriously! Every time I take a break from JJs for a few days, when I come back there’s always such amazing news about the JPs!

I truly admire this woman! I have never seen such a pro-active celebrity when it comes to truly living one’s life to the fullest.

Amazing, just AMAZING!. More power to you Angelina.
Thanks for being the woman that you are.
Very proud to be your fan. ;)

What is this jackass trying to achieve by putting ‘ums’ into a transcript of a news interview. I interviewed hundreds of individuals for both news and feature articles and you only put those in feature articles for colour and semantics. The editor ought to know better. Leave the ‘ums’ out of this kind of news article, they only distract and detract from the essence of what is being conveyed.

Angelina is naturally very beautiful woman…and i’m proud to call myself one of the millions of fans who admire her beauty , brain and talents.. GOD BLESS BRANGELINA and their LITTLE ANGELS.
No Wonder Brad is crazy in love with her….Angie is amazing..
Thanks for this thread Jared..you are the best.

Ha!, is an example of one more ignorant person who refuses to educate herself when resources are available to her (yeah you dumb b*tch, you know you’re going to “get attacked” as you say because you KNOW you’re talking out of your azz and that you haven’t even bothered to do any homework) - anyone w/ a google connection can read of Angelina’s accomplishments…they are concrete and they are working - whether it’s her unaccompanied minors bill that was signed and passed, her millenium villages project w/ dr jeffrey sachs that she funded, that has actually improved living conditions in Africa, her southeast asian/cambodian foundation that she funded that distributes AIDS drugs, (this is just the tip of the iceberg because I don’t have all day)…lastly, no one doubts her influence in terms of inspiring not just her peers in Hollywood (forget kaballah..I’d say Madge gets inspired by Angelina, ditto Clooney, and Brad has already admitted it..and here these are people DECADES and going on 20 years older than herself. ) Her own generation and the younger crowd mention her inspiration and influence regularly…so, even IF Angelina did nothing else in humanitarian causes ever, her influence on other people worldwide…inspiring them to step up to the plate as well, is and has been astounding and the stuff of legend. Face it you troll, she stands alone…Angelina, moreso than anyone else I can think of empowers the spirit of ‘one’..she is not a corporation like Oprah, she doesn’t go begging Gucci like Madge, or enlisting corporations and moguls like Bono…she reaches into her OWN pocket regularly, most of all the sheer strength and will of her own singular desire to learn, and make the world better is almost legendary at this point because of her OWN generosity, grit, intelligence and compassion she has no peer - no one is as inspiring….and they certainly have not accomplished what she has and all under her own steam.

That said if AJ is returning Thurs night, that means she’s out aready,back in the UK! :-D

I know this is for refugee,but in this pic she doesn’t look pregnant at all.look at how she hold her food.If she was,I don’t think she would hold that plate like her.

OMG you’re really obsessed, aren’t you? :lol:

Hello Bampzsters! It’s good to see our Angie. Praying for her health and strenght and safety as always. I love how she answered the CNN reporter about the pregnancy speculation. That made my day…
God bless the Jolie-Pitts!

why cant she.. anyway its not a soup or anything heavy… its just a simple meal … but it so obvious … cant u see it

Bailey, it’s not “my” mind set, it’s what I read every time there is a different update on the latest trip abroad. Instead of hearing that she’s working with the UN and “x (meaning an actual result)” has occurred, it’s “I’m visiting _______, the conditions are horrendous, there seems to be a lot of talk but no action.” Isn’t her job to inspire action? Why isn’t that happening. What I’m saying is that I think more highly if something actually got better as a result. In the meantime, it’s a lot of PR trips to put a famous face on a cause.

Cliniqua, I was specifically talking about these humanitarian trips we keep reading about. Pull your panties out, dearest.

wow!I can’t get it.

why this HA! popster who is Bennifer’s fan get lot’s of your attention.really do you expect more from JG’s or BA’s fan?they worship JG because she is taking care of her own dauther and how good mother she is.LOL

you know that’s not same shi*,another day.but Angie in Iraq is same sh*t,another day in their limited mind.so get her comment with grain of salt.I really don’t expect more from Bennifer’s fans!!
