[Lucire: Insider] Angelina Jolie writes eyewitness account from Iraq: Today’s humanitarian crisis in Iraq””and the potential consequences for our national security””are great. Can the United States afford to gamble that 4 million or more poor and displaced people, in the heart of Middle East, won’t explode in violent desperation, sending the whole region into further disorder? ”¦
[Redstate - Conservative News and Community] Obama eludes and elides on Iraq: Obama continued this lie in last Tuesday’s debate when he said, “My objections to the war in Iraq were simply -- not simply a speech [referring to his October 2002 speech against invading Iraq]. I was in the midst of a U.S. Senate campaign.” Obama’s “career on the line” nonsense is under the section titled “judgment you can trust” on his website, which leads me this question: How can you trust a man’s judgment when you cannot justifiably trust his facts?
[amiestilo's Celebrity News] Angelina Jolie is deeply concerned about Iraq problems: In a piece Angelina penned for The Washington Post newspaper titled ‘A Reason to Stay in Iraq’, she wrote: “What we cannot afford, in my view, is to squander the progress that has been made. In fact, we should step up our financial and material assistance.”
[Wizbang] Saying Too Much, Saying Too Little: As we remove our troops, Obama will engage representatives from all levels of Iraqi society - in and out of government - to seek a new accord on Iraq's Constitution and governance. The United Nations will play a central role in this convention, which should not adjourn until a new national accord is reached addressing tough questions like federalism and oil revenue-sharing.
[Kevin Tracy] Angelina Jolie’s Surprise Op-Ed on the Iraq War: But in Iraq, where I’ve just met with American and Iraqi leaders, the phrase carries a different meaning. It does not refer to the departure of U.S. troops, but to the return of the millions of innocent Iraqis who have been driven out of their homes and, in many cases, out of the country.
[Wizbang] Saying Too Much, Saying Too Little: Jordan and Kuwait also share a border with Iraq, but they're largely benign. Humanitarian Initiative.
[The Strata-Sphere] You Can Be Anti-War And Support Continuing Our Efforts In Iraq: I agree that the surge has produced significant miltiary progress, and I believe that we should continue to let it play out for now to take advantage of that progress, but I don’t think that it has come even close to solving the core problem in Iraq and I am highly skeptical of the Iraqi governments desire and ability to do what it needs to do to solve the core problem. So don’t call me a deafists when I disagree, actually listen to what I’m saying and if you still disagree convince me why my views of the primary threat in Iraq and the steps necessary to resolving it are wrong.
[newsbusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias] Did Angelina Jolie Just Call for US to 'Stay in Iraq'?: I was frankly shocked at this editorial. I mean, really shocked. Angelina Jolie is arguably the queen bee of Hollywood right now and here she is telling as she sees it, not as how many of her co-horts in Tinseltown would like to perceive the situation in Iraq. Maybe her star power and her humanitarian image will protect her from a backlash, at least among the MSM and the industry (there's no hope for the nutroots) but it's still quite a gutsy thing not to follow the pull-out-now company line. Whether you think Iraq was a good idea or not, the fact of the matter is we cannot let it turn into another Cambodia or South Vietnam.
[Political Forum - Latest World News] Angelina Jolie and Iraq: Today's humanitarian crisis in Iraq -- and the potential consequences for our national security -- are great. Can the United States afford to gamble that 4 million or more poor and displaced people, in the heart of Middle East, won't explode in violent desperation, sending the whole region into further disorder?
[News-Leader.com - Top Stories] Troop surge in Iraq has created chance for increased aid, Jolie says: She said she stressed to Iraqi officials there must be a coherent plan for helping some 2 million Iraqis who are taking advantage of the downturn in violence to begin trickling back to abandoned homes from havens elsewhere in the country. A similar number fled Iraq to escape the bloodshed.
[Extra Weblog] Angelina Rocks Aid for Iraqis: David Petraeus about UNHCR's need for security information and protection for its staff as they re-enter Iraq, and I am pleased that he has offered that support. General Petraeus also told me he would support new efforts to address the humanitarian crisis "to the maximum extent possible" -- which leaves me hopeful that more progress can be made.
[Conservativedude's Weblog] Hollywood Diva says “No” to cut & run?: This conflict affects all of us. A stabile Iraq means a more stable world that is less of a threat to our national security. I just wish other countries gave more money to these humanitarian efforts and the restoration of Iraq–and the Middle East. The amount of money we fork over to the UN and other organizations is astronomical. You’d think the world comprised of Australia, Antarctica and America.
[isupportthismessage.com] The Issue is National Security not Just Iraq: What if a civil war and humanitarian crisis erupts in Iraq after we leave? What if Iran sees a power vacuum because our troops are gone?
[Jack Yan: the Persuader Blog] Angelina Jolie writes eyewitness account from Iraq: My visit left me even more deeply convinced that we not only have a moral obligation to help displaced Iraqi families, but also a serious, long-term, national security interest in ending this crisis.
[Celebrity Blog] Angelina Jolie writes Op Ed piece on Iraq’s humanitarian crisis: Some of the worst sniping over Angelina came with the recent story that she was in Iraq in her role as goodwill ambassador for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. I try to stay impartial and neutral on these Angelina posts, but it doesn’t matter what I say because someone always goes crazy with hatred for the woman no matter what she does.
[Hollywood Rag - Celebrity Ragazine] Angelina Jolie Wants The US To Step Up: Angelina claims the sum is "less than the US spends each day to fight the war in Iraq." The star - who visited Baghdad earlier this month - is deeply concerned there is no coherent plan to cope with two million refugees within the .
[Reviewsmovie's Weblog] Jolie: US troop surge in Iraq has created chance for increased aid: She said she stressed to Iraqi officials in that place must be a coherent plan for helping some 2 million Iraqis who are taking advantage of the downturn in outrage to begin trickling back to abandoned homes from havens elsewhere in the country. A similar number fled Iraq to escape the bloodshed.
[Pacific Views] Iraqis Continue to Pay and Pay and Pay for Bush's War of Choice: In the same years, the weight of displaced persons inside Iraq grew ever more quickly. Estimated by the UN at 2.25 million in September 2007, this tidal flow of internally displaced, often homeless, families began to weigh on the resources of the provinces receiving them.
[Oliver Kamm] Iraqi interpreters - once more: And here is what the Right Honourable Bob Ainsworth, Minister of State for Defence, wrote to David Lidington, MP, about this same man on 16th January: 'Mr Hardie expresses concern over the handling of a claim for assistance by a former employee of British Forces, Mr A_ .Mr A_ is eligible for the assistance scheme, and we have passed his details on to the Border and Immigration Agency who will take forward his request for resettlement in the UK via the Gateway programme.
