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.

Does this mean she is not pregnant,I don’t think she would put her life and her baby’s life in danger If she was pregnant.I was so happy when I heard she was pregnant.seems my happiness wasn’t meant to last long.
btw good to see her doing some good in this world.bless you and your heart and your family.

she looked pregnant to me in that video where she is getting her tray. definitely rounder in the middle.
Take care Angie! You are an inspiration for many.
I really really admire Angie. She is extraordinary. She looks a little tired due to pregnancy.
#47: are you talking as an Iraqi from the safety of the United States? If you had been there as one of the IDPs, would you still be bitter about being helped in settling back to your home?
Speak for yourself but don’t ever dare assume everybody walks in your shoes. If they didn’t need help, they wouldn’t be in flight!

kelly @ 02/07/2008 at 11:54 am If she’s really pregnant, why the hell would she go to IRAQ of all places?

If she’s really pregnant, why the hell would she go to PAKISTAN of all places? Oh wait…
Does this mean she is not pregnant,I don’t think she would put her life and her baby’s life in danger If she was pregnant.I was so happy when I heard she was pregnant.seems my happiness wasn’t meant to last long.

Why can’t she go to Iraq when she is pregnant? She went to Pakistan when she was pregant with Shiloh. In the video, when she is getting her tray, her middle section looks rounder and bigger. She IS pregnant, deal with it.
#61: boy you just wasted whatever education you had. Can’t you read? Do research before shooting your mouth off. She’s been at it for years so if it wasn’t making any benefit to anybody, why would she bother? If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all…your mother never taught you that ,did she? Did she tell you to be jealous of anyone who can do things that you can’t? Seems like it.

scroll down to see AP video… absolute pregnant
I’m glad Angelina made another trip to Iraq to raise awareness. I also believe she gets to see the real truth of what is going on and not just biases by th evast majority of th e press covering it.
I wonder when they are in the Austin area if she will travel 70 miles to see the wounded soldiers/military personnel at Brooke Army Medical center(BAMC). That is where I get medical treatment at.
Gob bless her heart and stay safe!!!
HI BAMPZS,CHECK THE TMZ VIDEO,SHE IS PREGNANT,THE BUMP IS VISIBLE
Athletes, Artists, Governments Cooperate on Causes
Conflict resolution, refugees, other issues foster unique alliances
By Jacquelyn S. Porth
USINFO Staff Writer
Washington — Promoting effective conflict resolution, alleviating poverty, helping refugees and preventing wildlife trafficking require unique partnerships among government leaders, nongovernmental groups, artists and athletes to reach diverse audiences effectively.
Such public-private partnerships are increasing in a world in which multiple messages and channels of communication are needed to find solutions to issues. The U.S. Department of State, for example, has enlisted athletes and others from the private sector in its public diplomacy outreach efforts, while the United Nations has recruited actresses and other public figures to serve as “goodwill ambassadors.”
THE VALUE OF NONTRADITIONAL ENVOYS
Rice recently met with actress and U.N. Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie, who has traveled on missions to 20 countries including Chad, Sierre Leone, Iraq and Burma.
Jolie, who represents the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, has lobbied the U.S. Congress and launched World Refugee Day activities in Washington in 2005 with Rice and Paul Rusesabagina — a hotel manager in Rwanda who protected refugees in 1994 and whose experience served as a model for the film Hotel Rwanda.
Cooper says Jolie is an example of another person who has used her celebrity “to engage politicians at the highest rank,” as evidenced by her attendance at events such as the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

I think she will really like Austin area in the spring.
Angie is exemplary as a UNHCR ambassador with this state department sponsored visit. She focuses on the humanitarian crisis and the plight of the refugeess. She is humble and tactful , doesn’t bash any government or organization, instead emphasizing coming together to help those who are displaced and who wants to go home.
Her meetings are with the who’s who , from General Petreaus, the Iraq PM, etc. that only goes to show her influence and diplomacy to intiate change in a volatile war zone.
hi sharon, angel, felinelilly.
She´s perfect, beautiful, good person, wonderful mum, good “wife”, very, very, smart, a realy good actress, and most of all a WONDERFUL human being.
I love her so much
Thanks Jared for a legit thread that is not based on tabloid lies.
@101: oh, my gosh! She’s beautiful…her dress looks so good on her. Now why doesn’t she wear more dresses like that on the RC? Even her do is great on her. I bet that item will sell well. EVerybody who buys it will think they’ll look like her in it.
Thanks for posting it.

so are you saying that Angie told the guy sitting next to her she was expecting twins?
CNN,want to be a tabloid,from perez
A very pregnant Angelina Jolie, the goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, arrived in Iraq’s capital, Baghdad, today.
The mother of four (and more on the way) met with General David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, the Iraqi Prime Minister, and Iraqi migration officials.
When Angie says she wants to chat, you say, “How quickly?”
In an interview with CNN early this morning, Angelina said regarding her trip, “I felt I had to come here because it is very difficult to get answers about the internally displaced people. There’s lots of goodwill and lots of discussion, but there seems to be just a lot of talk at the moment, and a lot of pieces that need to be put together. I’m trying to figure out what they are.”
Angelina is expected to hold a press conference today to talk about her meetings with Gen. Petraeus and Iraq’s minister for displaced people.
Angelina was all talk when it came to discussing Baghdad, but when the interviewer asked her about the pregnancy reports in Hollywood, Jolie quickly interrupted her question with, “Oh, don’t. Stop it. Stay true to your tradition. You’re CNN. Don’t do it!”
When the reporter mentioned she just had to ask, Jolie responded with “But I don’t have to answer. OK?”
And the interview ended shortly after that.
