(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.
Do you really believe what you just posted?
susie
Tell "bubble lips" to stuff it.
I cannot deny, however, that she has nice boobies.
"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."
Except that the phrase does not appear anywhere in the document:
OHCHR: English (English) - Universal Declaration of Human Rights

She said ... "it's like having this tiny little pet he can just hold and look at."

"little pet" is the operative phrase...just like you are or is it the other way around...
Didn't she pay $8,000.00 a night for some hotel room to shack up in with Jennifer Anniston's husband?
Uh, priorities???
And 6 months before having this baby didn't she claim she would never have sex with a married man because her daddy Mr. Voight did so and it broke up her mom's marriage?
Like I'd believe anything she ever said.
You know, I also criticize U.S. priorities. I mean, every where I go, I see you and your husband's mug plastered all over magazine covers and such. As if we couldn't live without your wisdom. Our priorities are pretty screwed up if you folks are the best we have to offer the public.
Oh, and not all that long ago dressed like a vampire vamp with blood around her neck telling the world she just screwed her husband in the Limo on the way to an awards show. I have very much enjoyed Angelina as an actress, but as a person she is making me very, very sick and she is a horrendous narcissist, hypocrite, and typical knee jerk liberal.
H-M-M. These people get a little fire in the belly when they temporarily help another and since they are narcissists many of them they expect the world needs to confirm to their new belief system.
I won't even begin to talk about the horrendously stupid stuff she says about her own children. The woman is very sick and projects herself onto everyone else. Sad, by true.
I hope St. Johns drops her some day soon.
LOL. Exactly.
I say we just quit giving any money to anyone and take care of our people here, the troops in Iraq and abroad. Then watch them all really start to scream and cry. They don't do anything for us except leach off of our tax payers dollars.
Conservatives put their money where their mouths are. Liberals put your money where their mouths are.
LOLOL! You're so mean. LOL. ; )
I wonder about our priorities as well. Especially when some airhead actress can demand $millions to make instantly forgettable and moronic movies.
Hmmm... Ignore the currently raging conflict in order to prevent a possible conflict in the future?
Kinda like a little spending on contraception will prevent a future possible child?
Upid-stay is as Upid-stay does, I guess.
Yes, the 'more pressing matter' that protects us peons from TERRORISTS. But, coming from a blood sucking weirdo WHO CARES what she says?!
Please don't say that. Say, "alternative forms of government."
She's a real Evita Peron in that respect.
