Angelina Jolie: We Have a Moral Obligation to Help Iraqi Refugees

4 months pregnant and visiting a war zone.

what a dumbassssssz.

why didn’t she go years ago? oh wait too busy adopting orphans to care about the war then..

dina #1

3rd OT, GC goes to Darfur twice attempts to hold a press confrence to inform UN delegates about the war. Leaves with egg on his face. No one suggested that he shouldn’t have gone, didn’t know enough to start telling people what should be done, or called names. He is still considered the Last Great Movie Star. Peace
——————————
What happened to George while he was holding the press conference that he ended up looking bad? I know everyone was talking about it, but I completely missed it. What did he do?

#48: Even if it was Trevor’s words as you say, it is Angie’s visit that made it authentic and true. It is her experience and nothing you can say will change that.

Even presidents don’t write their own speech no matter how articulate. But I digress, Angelina has given you something of an awwie again that’s why we love her so. LOL.

Oh Hi TITA…bbl ..

Angelina Jolie: Seriously Beautiful

By Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts
The Washington Post

Jolie, the “U.N. goodwill ambassador,” wears a dark suit and a single strand of pearls. Her hair is expensively streaked. Her eyelashes are impossibly long.

Finally she speaks, declaring that the AIDS fight “needs to be all-inclusive,” tackling hunger and poverty as well. If the war in Iraq costs $5 billion a month, she complains, “three months of the war is all we’re spending on AIDS.”

Biden utters an impressed “Wow.”

“I don’t understand that,” she concludes. “I’m confused about the priorities.”

HAHAHAHA.

She’s confused and I’m confused too.

Francesca @ 02/28/2008 at 4:25 pm Indie,
I did read her article and I think she is correct in saying we shouldn’t discount the possible anger and what it could potentially generate.

I’m just not impressed with a column that exists solely to generate attention and not action. Think what you want about my opinions and what you think I should go do with them. They are mine and yours are yours. The end.
**********************************************************

Poor you, franny. Why must you torture yourself like this?

Anyhoo, here’s a little clue for you, which i hope will help you pull yourself out of your misery and ignorance:

E V E R Y T I M E, that Angelina Jolie makes representation on behalf of the UNHCR (whether through her articles which follow her visit to a humanitarian crisis area of the world (like the topic under discussion on this thread); or through her well publicised visits with refugees in their makeshift shelters, so that those of us who function solely at the level of concrete operations (like you, for example) can SEE the human suffering about which she speaks, the coffers of the UN EXPAND, as in GROW, as in: donations from ALL OVER THE WORLD flood the UN.

Are you getting it yet?

So your patently FALSE statement that : “a column that exists solely to generate attention and not action” only exposes you for the know-nothing empty barrel that you are, yes?

You should get down on your knees and give thanks for the anonymity of the internet whch prevents us from seeing what your particular brand of stupidity looks like.

Wow 260 post alreday you see Angie you are the it girl

I have read this article probably 5 times since it was posted at jjb. I am so proud of Angie, it is a very well written, to the point and non-political.
See if it were me, I’d start with ….why the heck did we start this war that made us lose over 4000 wonderful, brave sons and daughters and killed over 200,000 innocent civilians in Iraq etc..! That’s why no one listens to me

But, thats now what Angie wants to point out. She is not going in the reasons why this war started…. What’s done is done! This is the situation NOW and we have a moral obligation as humanitarians to these innocent refugees, most of whom are kids..Also we need to ensure stability and peace so that it won’t become a national/mideast/world security issue in the long run….
BRAVO Angie!

Ladies and gents of BAMPZSville—many thanks for such wonderful, intelligent comments…

CMAR, Indie–it is great to see you two posting, we sure missed you

cook—I loved your post re our military serves many, many functions not just combat…Thanks for pointing that out.

Hey ’shut up’ - are you going to add ANYTHING intelligent to the discussion here, or are you just going to keep giving JJ hits and bankroll a website that supports the Jolie-Pitts and their fans? Just asking…

#67: She is stating her opinion. No need to bite her head off. Listen to the radio and watch news channels. People there are opining all the time. How come she gets your sole attention?

Did she say she had a plan that the government must follow? Is it her job to crunch out numbers for you to show she’s legit? It is an OP-ED! Do you go after everyone who does one? I’m sure you do since you’re so proud of your superior intellect. Your IQ is higher than hers, right? So why can’t you take her opinion as what it is, an opinion!

Malick officially shooting in Smithville
By Chris Garcia | Tuesday, February 12, 2008, 02:07 PM

The Statesman’s Michael Corcoran — sort of a blend of Bob Woodward and Kelso — shoots us this crackling dispatch straight from the perilous terrain of Smithville:

It’s official. After weeks of rumors and speculation, the location manager of “Tree of Life,” the Terrence Malick project starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn, addressed the Smithville City Council on Monday night to talk about filming there, which will begin at the end of March.

The shoot will last approximately three months, location manager John Patterson said.

“Security is going to be a big issue with( the film company),” says Smithville city manager Tex Middlebrook, who laughed and said he’d met notoriously private director Malick a few times without knowing who he was until recently.

Middlebrook says he helped the crew find and move a 60,000 pound live oak — the title tree — to a back yard in Smithville last week. Many of the cast and crew on the film, a 1950s period piece, have rented houses in Smithville, a town of 4,000 located 45 miles east of Austin.

Although Pitt has not been officially confirmed, he recently told Charlie Rose in an interview that his next project would be “Tree of Life.” It’s not known if Angelina Jolie and the kids will accompany Pitt to the town that might as well be called “Pittville” for the next four months.
