Madonna Calls For American Troops To Leave Iraq (Whore of Babble-On Speaks!)

[Paul Atreides]

Madonna yesterday told a British radio show she thinks American troops should be withdrawn from war-torn Iraq immediately. During an appearance on BBC Radio 2, the singer told presenter Jeremy Vine the US should concentrate on homeland security rather than "dropping bombs on innocent people" abroad. She said, "I just don't want American troops to be in Iraq, period. My feelings are can we just all get out? Global terror is everywhere. Global terror is down the street, around the block. 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." On the subject of George W Bush's re-election as American President, Madonna added, "People are becoming very polarized. We have people who don't want to think, and who just want to guard what is theirs, and they're selfish and limited in their thinking and they're very fearful in their choices." The 46-year-old flirted with controversy last year when critics labeled her video for American Life 'anti-Bush', but ended up withdrawing the promo in the wake of America's invasion of Iraq, fearing 'lynch-mob patriotism'.

And Another Thing!!!

What's with her accent? She moves to England for a year and now she sounds like Julie Andrews.

[Former Dodger]

It is analogous to Bozo the Clown teaching a physics course.

Or John Edwards being Vice President...

They held signs like "Clinton Lied Nobody Died."

REALLY...guess she forgot Clinton didn't want to deal with Bin Lauden allowing him to mastermind the terrorist attack of 911!!

If Clinton had spent his time dealing with Bin Lauden instead of fooling around underneath his desk...3,000 people would not have died in New York

After all the damage she's did in the world with her trashy lyrics, she ought to keep her mouth shut...

I opted to turn my back, literally, on them.

"They held signs like "Clinton Lied Nobody Died.""


I love to point out to the Clinton supporters who condemn Bush for invading Iraq that Clinton used the U.S. military in Haiti, Somalia, Sudan, Kosovo, and Iraq and tens of thousands of people died (mostly Kosovo). I make it a point to ask them why they weren't protesting the "evil" Bill Clinton for his "illegal" war without the consent of the UN and without an "imminent threat" to the United States.

Getting called out for being a hypocrite is never pleasant and I almost always see a clear look of discomfort on the faces of the people whom I have said this to. I believe that most of them actually forgot that they supported using the US military when they could get the credit for it.

It has been proved Clinton and a lot of other people in his administration lied and as a result, a lot of people died in attacks on USA property,a ship and planes out of the country died as well as in Oklahoma.
