Angelina Jolie: The Surge Is Working and the Troops wish to Stay.
   Advertisements [?]

"As for the question of whether the surge is working, I can only state what I witnessed: U.N. staff and those of non-governmental organizations seem to feel they have the right set of circumstances to attempt to scale up their programs. And when I asked the troops if they wanted to go home as soon as possible, they said that they miss home but feel invested in Iraq. They have lost many friends and want to be a part of the humanitarian progress they now feel is possible."

Of course they clamor for the Hollywood types when they spout socialist anti-American crap but look what happens here.

9. Probably the same hand picked ones that shared the plastic turkey with the monkey
   Ms. Jolie has just been used by the spin machine.
Shame on her- can she really be that out of touch
with how it works?

32. She COULD ENLIST!
   Why doesn't she!!?!1? Oh I see, she's got an important job in the entertainment industry, and she's underpaid anyway.

Just kidding.
I know her personality type, and she just wants attention in whichever way she can get it. Right now, she's a mother of many children, which she loves, but she probably misses the shock-value of her single youth, just a little. So Angelina goes and says this.

17. Although well intentioned, I am sure, the woman doesn't know crap about the factions in Iraq.
   Ever heard of genocide MS. Jolie?
Many Iraqis can't go back because they will be killed.
Why don't celebrities stick to what they know?

24. I think you're wrong on that. She's an ambassador for peace at the UN.
   I'm pretty sure she's well aware of what's going on in Iraq and that's why I'm surprised about that statement.

That is because she does KNOW and you do not.
Just can`t accept that when you don`t like it though huh.

14. She needs to shut up and smile for those UN posterbabe for poverty photo-ops.
   Perhaps she wants to *prove* to the world just how out of touch she is?

You wish to deny her Constitutional right to free speech?
Better call the ACLU on that one DUmmies.

45. We've Only Destroyed A Country
   and I would think the Iraqi's would want to rebuild it themselves vs having mega corporations from America & Britain coming in and hiring foreign workers to do the work. I wish Ms Jolie would have conveyed more of what Iraqi's want.

In other words...
This is what I believe and want to think therefore it must be what everyone thinks too.

Tolerant,open minded bunch aren`t they.

Suck on it, DUmmies.  Sometimes a little truth leaks through even the MSM program.

Wow--they love Hollywierd when lib talking points are parroted, but when one leaves the plantation by merely a foot, out come the fangs.

Think Secratary Rice and Justice Thomas.
They have committed the ultimate sin in libthink.

This doesn't surprise me one bit. You should have seen me talking with my liberal co-workers (I know, a real-live bouncy story ). I was sick and cranky this last week, but I got fed up with them refusing to accept facts..... like the amount of money the illegals get in government services, be it medical, legal, housing, etc. I asked them if they thought it was right for them to vote in our elections to which they swore that the illegals didn't or wouldn't vote in our elections because they wouldn't "risk it".

I've seen liberals elsewhere making the same argument.  If illegals are so risk-averse, why the hell did they break the law to sneak into this country?

Great find!

The DUmbasses sitting in their parent's basement know more about everything than the people on the ground.

But but but Dave...they HAVE to know more than you and I do...Jesse MacBeth...Scott Thomas Beauchamp and Tom Wright told them it's horrible and a clusterf*ck over there.

Right, they have no regard for our laws because they know they aren't enforced. Sheesh, I wouldn't either if I knew I could get away with it.

Then we got into an argument about resources to round them up.... I said at minimum, determine the citizenship of people who break our laws and give them the boot.

If there is no work or handouts, there is no magnet. Seems very elementary. Maybe employers will have to pay employees more, maybe they will have to pass on some of the higher cost to the consumers, maybe just maybe the profit margins won't be so great. But, in the end, we won't be a country of sellouts for the almighty $.

I have some fairly lib friends and last fall when Gov.Spitzer had his proposal to give illegals drivers licenses they all thought it was insane and that illegals should be rounded up and thrown out.
When I told them it was all about getting them into DMV so as to slip them on to the voting rolls then it took on a political overtone instead of a logical one and the topic was dropped.

No doubt. And the political pandering for votes is running amok in the GOP with the likes of Bush,  McCain and all the other sellouts. I'm irritated, can you tell?

Yeah, she's over there while BeHereNow's sitting on his/her fat ass in his/her shanty. Wonder who knows more about the situation on the ground. Hmm. This seems to be the case every time. Morons talk shit about Iraq. Morons go to Iraq. Morons come back with different opinion. Moron's fellow followers bash moron for not knowing what's really going on since moron didn't get his/her news from a credible news source like CNN, but got the information first hand. CNN coverage always trumps events witnessed firsthand to DUmbasses.

This right here highlights perfectly what has been said elsewhere that all Liberals are concerned about is acquiring and amassing as much power as they can get and KEEPING it.

They are aghast that illegals will be handed drivers license's until they realize they will be slipped onto the voters rolls as well.

They then go from being merely illegals to potential voters who will help people like Barak and Hillary stay in power.

Apparently, reality is entirely subjective. 

[mamacags]

I read a post on Craigs List by an angry soldier about how horrible Iraq is.  I know he was telling the truth because immediately the MSM tried to smear him by saying he had never even been a soldier or been to Iraq.  Therefore I must know better than anyone else what kind of situation Iraq is in.

As a bouncy that might have gotten 1-1/2 bong.  It is a lot better than the crap they have been foisting lately.

65 Billion in free Goverment cash for food and medical care and schooling would go along way to help cut the cost of alot of the things that we all pay for now in those areas if we didn't have the Government giving away like M&Ms on Halloween.
