Angelina Jolie is in Iraq to witness firsthand the humanitarian crisis there, the United Nations Refugee Agency UNHCR has announced.
The actress and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, 32, flew from New York to Syria on Monday. In Damascus, she visited a UNHCR registration center and spend hours talking to Iraqi refugees in their homes.
Tuesday's journey took her to Iraq to meet with 1,200 refugees camped out in a makeshift outpost at the border, because they are unable to leave the country. She also witnessed dozens of Iraqis crossing into Syria.
"I have come to Syria and Iraq to help draw attention to the humanitarian crisis and to urge governments to increase their support for UNHCR and its partners," Jolie said in a statement. "My sole purpose in both countries is to highlight the plight of those uprooted by the war in Iraq."

I'm sure she'll make it all better. /sarc
“I have to go to Iraq....to pick up another child.”
“I have to go to Iraq....to pick up another child.”
“That’s one ugly woman.”
Thank you. I was beginning to think I was the only one who thought that.
I especially admire all the lovely tats she is sporting. I’d like to get a look at those in about 40 years.
Yikes, your right! How embarrassing.
That’s what I get for insulting this wonderful gal, (barf).
LOL
She did.
Her father, Jon Voight visits the troops regularly. He was a guest on Laura Ingraham recently. Quite conservative, actually. I’m glad she’s bringing attention to the plight of several million Iraqi refugees who are being run out because they supported us.
The article states that she did meet with American forces privately. The refugees are in reality, another aspect of the war.
Don’t be embarrassed. I do it all the time but I couldn’t resist the vile/vial comparison/pun.
Didn’t any of you READ the article? She did visit the troups.
Thank God we are now going to get the real story #@$%&$%$#@#$#@##$$##$$ Stupid a##es who no nothing about everything!
Hey, be fair. His local boosters are putting together an exploratory committee that is getting together some focus groups who are putting out some feelers to the press to test the feasibility of a press conference that will announce that there is the possibility that at some point he might consider running. Or not.
Well, it just screams "commitment" to me.
“on another note, what are the odds she’ll buy another baby to complete here rainbow colored collection?)”
I would say the odds are very good. Perhaps she’ll adopt a Muslim child and after a few years all of the rest will be converted.
I wouldn’t put it past them.
Is she going to adopt a soldier?
“Perhaps our Southern neighbors would consider staying home a couple weeks so we could save the lives of those who have befriended us.”
Good point.
“. I’m glad she’s bringing attention to the plight of several million Iraqi refugees who are being run out because they supported us.”
Me too. She just as easily could be lying on a beach somewhere sipping a few Mai Tais(sp). Got to give her credit for going over there.
