George Clooney opposed to Iraq Strike (Get a load of his idiotic reasoning)

It sounds like George Clooney is opposed to invading Iraq. When a London Observer reporter asked about America’s actions post 9/11, he replied:

“We live on an island. A giant big f - - - ing island. We don’t understand that people actually get mad at us. We still think of ourselves in terms of WW2. It’s not uncommon for us to say to France, ‘Hey, you’d still be speaking German if it wasn’t for us.’ The problem is the world has changed, and our involvement in these tiny little places is different than it was in 1941. It was a lot clearer then. We were attacked.”

Dear God, where to start? I'll let you guys handle it. This should be fun

[exit82]

Don't know where to start. The man is terminally stupid. That is why he is a Hollywood actor. He makes a living pretending he is someone else. Unfortunately, it leads him to think he has something important to say.

[Huck]

Just goes to show you why actors get paid to read someone else's words. Actors, even the good ones, are almost all excruciatingly boring when not playing a character.

Hey George if London disappeared in a mushroom cloud would you unequivocally state the UK was attacked then? When it comes to a mad dictator the last thing on earth I'd want to do is sit around and wait to see if he'll actually use a weapon of mass murder. That's foolish in the extreme. In truth, disarming Iraq will prevent another Middle East war, not create one. But don't count on a Hollywood star to get the facts straight.

[A Cyrenian]

George Clooney is an actor. Just like Pee Wee Herman and Kermit the Frog. Why anyone would ask someone who acts for a living something about politics or world affairs is beyond me.

Well, for beginners: Clooney would be speaking German and working for a living, (nobody would have ever heard of him,some good comes...) if it weren't for people like us.

[Corporate Law]

And we were not attacked on September 11, 2001?

[goldstategop]

Most Hollyweird actors know little of the real world beyond their motor mouths. They're about as informed on current events as Babs Streisand or the latest arriviste to the liberal scene, George Clooney. Clooney's looney and doesn't have a friggin' clue about Iraq is what the local wags are going to say soon.

[goldstategop]

Yes we were. Clooney Looney has lost it and thinks we living in the Battle Of Britain. ;-) Methinks he hears the aireal combat between Spitfires and Messerschmidts over that daffy head of his. LMAO!

"It was a lot clearer then. We were attacked."

???!!!

[woofie]

He dont have a Clooney

[gridlock]

And we were not attacked on September 11, 2001?

I thought Mossad did that... < /sarc >

[rintense]

Is he using a metaphor or does he really believe we live on an island?

[goldstategop]

Of course the Krauts attacked England in 1941. That was before the atom bomb uncorked the whole bottle. We live in a world of entirely different circumstances where waiting for the enemy to attack first is an invitation to national suicide. One wonders if Clooney Looney understands the difference between the 20th and 21st centuries. Most of us do very clearly.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Clooney is a spoiled rich boy idiot. His father was a popular TV host. His Aunt and Uncle were singer Rosemary Clooney and Jose "the Caine Mutiny" Ferrar. Even as a "struggling" actor he lived with Aunt Rosemary. Like another "Hollywood baby," Rob Reiner, the guy has no idea of how "the real world" works.

"The problem is the world has changed, and our involvement in these tiny little places is different than it was in 1941. It was a lot clearer then. We were attacked.”

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't America attacked on September 11th?

[Glenn]

Why does anybody care what George Clooney thinks?

[goldstategop]

Clooney Looney lives in England which is an island. Of course the last time England came close to being invaded was Philip II of Spain's Armada in 1588.

[The Iguana]

"We were attacked.”

Indeed we were.

[goldstategop]

I don't care what Clooney Looney thinks. :) :)
