LONDON (AFP) - US pop star Madonna made a rare foray into politics, calling for her home country to withdraw its troops from Iraq during an interview with British radio.

"I just don't want American troops to be in Iraq, period," she said on BBC Radio.

"My feelings are 'can we just all get out?'," said the 46-year-old star, who lives mainly in London with British film director husband Guy Ritchie, who said she believes the US-led war will not help in the fight against terrorism.

Bush to Madonna: Thank you. It's done. They are outta there.

[Squawk 8888]

Well that settles it then. Time to call the whole thing off.

[Sthitch]

Sure we will pull the troops out, as soon as you find your virginity again. Remember where you left it? I didn't think so.

[kx9088]

Global terror is having to endure listening to her at all. There, fixed it for you.

[PajamaTruthMafia]

Hey Madonna, Shut up an sing. On second thought, just shut up!

[EGPWS]

Shut up and sing, you skanky hag!

Good Lord! Don't tell her THAT!

Tell her to do something that is more appealing, like clean the toilet or something...

[Tuxedo]

So, what exactly makes this newsworthy? Who gives a FF about what she has to say about anything?

[television is just wrong]

Maybe she should try running for public office so she has a say?? (sarcasm)

[MahaMarty]

Madonna? Hmm, I'm only 19, but, wasn't she the Nation's Official Harlot in the 80's?

[Mukor]

Who is this fool?

She's some senile old fart who made money wearing her underwear over her clothes.

[traumer]

[KJC1]

Yeah, good advice Madonna. Having Iraq fight terrorism too is really a lousy idea to win the WOT. Saddam was so much more effective./sarc

[Jon Alvarez]

no more money for Madge...she's just mad. she's trying to get back into the limelight...somehow.

bye Esther.

[SittinYonder]

Oh Geez, Esther wants us out? We'd better get packing.

[GAGOPSWEEPTOVICTORY]

Shut up and sing, you skanky hag!

Have you heard her latest stuff? She'd be better off just STFU.

The Hollyweirdos are out en masse today. It's like they forget they got their butts whipped one week ago today.

[kellynla]

Another irrelevant leftie who has less credibility than a screen door on a submarine.

Like Laura Ingraham says "shut up and sing"

Maddona: Orginally Latin/Old English Noun... Meaning: 1.) Prior to some time in the late 1960's was used to refer to the virgin mother of Jesus of Nazareth... Icon of the Catholic church.2.)Current washed up American pop Icon living in england, because conditions in her "home country" are unacceptable for her.

"Global terror is everywhere. Global terror is down the street, around the block," she said.

"Global terror is in California. There's global terror everywhere and it's absurd to think you can get it by going to one country and dropping tons of bombs on innocent people."

Stupid bitch equates common street crimes -- and probably general nastiness -- with terrorism. She also thinks (and I use that word loosely in association with this pretentious old whore) that what we're doing in Iraq is no different than what happened to us on 9/11, or happens all too frequently to Israelis.

[sayfer bullets]

Thanks for sharing, you skank.

Leon: "....yyeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhh."

[bubman]

And I call Madonna to sing a song and STFU!!!

Go back to the Kabala or whatever hocus pocus thing she is into this month. The world is too serious a place to have entertainers opine their views. Hmmm, didn't Plato say something like that 2400 years ago in one of his symposiums???
