(AP) NEW YORK Angelina Jolie says the U.S. government has "strange" priorities when it comes to spending money on war rather than on AIDS or refugees.
"Our priorities are quite strange," the 31-year-old actress said in an interview that aired Tuesday night on CNN. Jolie said spending money on war rather than "dealing with situations that could end up in conflict if left unassisted" could prove costly in the end.
"We're missing a lot of opportunities (to do) a lot of good that America used to do and has a history of doing," said Jolie, who is a goodwill ambassador for the U.N.'s refugee agency.
Jolie said that when she is in Washington to raise funds for AIDS orphans, she is often told the war in Iraq is the more pressing matter.
She explained that a tattoo on her upper back, "Know Your Rights," is a phrase taken from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted by the U.N. in 1948.
Jolie, who gave birth to her daughter, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt in Namibia, last month, said her older children, 18-month-old Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia, and 4-year-old Maddox, adopted from Cambodia, are adjusting to life with a new sibling.
She said Zahara is jealous of Shiloh "because she's still a little girl," but for Maddox, "it's like having this tiny little pet he can just hold and look at."
Jolie also told interviewer Anderson Cooper that she and Brad Pitt, Shiloh's father, plan to adopt their next child.
STFU, home wrecker...
Well, I question this bimbo's priorities...and her patriotism, her womanhood (body is fine, but brain is missing)...
Sheesh! I could have gone all day without seeing anything on Angelina Jolie.
Why do libs feel that Iraquis don't deserve their freedom? Why is that?
Jolie should shut her leftist yapper.
More deep thoughts from a shallow actor.
What a dipsh*t. She needs to talk to Bono before making such stupid statements. Bono & Bob Geldof both praised Bush for making AIDS a higher priority than her god "Bubba Clinton".
To Angelina, "Shut up and get naked!"
Didn't we just blow 16 or so billion on "fighting" AIDS in Africa?
Hollywood Twit With Two Lower Lips PING
We give more than Europe. Complain to them.
Ah, the genius speaks. Maybe she could join Cindy S's hungerstrike. I can hardly wait.
..of course if she's associated with the UN, KNOCKING the US has just put another feather in her......bonnet
Doogle
As Dubya said in his press conference in Austria..."That's absurd."
Then stay in Africa and keep having racial quotas for your babies you nut.
The rich and spoiled attack the way of life that made them rich and spoiled.
Fine, twit. We'll give them all breast implants and collagen injections, 'kay?
Another Hollywood Idiot heard from.
She has way more money than I do. Stop trying to squeeze more out of me and give her own money away. When she reducers her income to my level, then she can suggest that the government take more of my money for things. Obscenely rich husband swiping starlets have no room to talk about taxing other people.
Why doesn't she do a Jerry Lewis style telethon? That way people could give what they want to give.
