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.”

George Clooney is an actor. Just like Pee Wee Herman

But at least Pee Wee is "hands on"....

[AxelPaulsenJr]

Clooney is looney. I don't give a sh*t what that stupid empty head loon has to say on anything.

[Marysecretary]

My point is that an actor can be a good politician. Clooney never will be. Arnold Schwarzenegger might.

[Hildy]

He also has a villa in Italy.

ACTOR = from Greek hypokritEs actor, hypocrite, from hypokrinesthai

Man am I completely sick of this flawed and fatally stupid
reasoning by so many personalities and reporters who are logically contradicting themselves in their rush to avoid conflict.
It all comes down to a desire to avoid conflict.
There has been one, and only one world leader stand up
to Saddam since the gulf war ended. W.
Clinton couldn't wait to gumbify himself and bend any which
way to avoid coming into conflict with Saddam.
When weapons inspectors were kicked out in 98 he did
the very least he could to punish them, and only that tiny
amount as his pollsters probably assured him he must.
Now we have solid evidence that Hussein (the same leader
that gassed Iranians, and Kurds many many times) is
persistantly pursuing the refinement of his chemical weapons
(see dusty nerve gas agents) and nuclear weapons (see
Saddams Bombmaker). And that is just are unclassified knowledge of what he is up to.
Today I pick up the Washington Post Style section (
please forgive me I couldn't help myself when I saw
the words Bush and Premptive) in the Break room,
only to rise to a level of disgust at the continued
naivity of Saddam's apologists.
I am sick and tired of hearing and reading the words
Bush and premptive strikes regarding our new policy
towards terrorism and world peace.
What is premptive about the United States Iraq policy
in context of the last 10 years. We have patiently
watched buffoons and clowns apologize for a reckless
evil dictator intent on sacrificing his own people and
anyone else that gets in his way on his path to power and
hedonistic glory (see 15 presidential palaces).
Are we to do nothing then?. More fiddling with
endless diplomacy while France and Germany send
needed components to Iraq to build weapons that
will be used against our troops?. (sigh)
These same Intellectuals who quietly sat and watched
Bill Clinton's Administration defang a Serbian Strong
man that did not have WMD's, are adamantly opposed to
the defanging of a far greater evil in Saddam.
Where Milosevic preyed upon the minorities in Kosovo,
it's apparently acceptable for us to ignore Saddam's
crimes against the Kurds and his own people.
No wonder these mostly liberal "intellectuals" have no Moral authority. They have composted whatever contribution
they had to make with their hypocrisy and lack of focus
on the dangers to world peace.
Where Milosevic was arguably small danger to world peace, Saddam obviously is due to his instability and lust for power alone. If this mad man gets nuclear weapons
(the equivalence of a royal flush on the stage of
international poker) what then?.
How will we deal with him?.
There are no answers forthcoming from the Daschle's,
Clooneys, Streisands and their Ilk. Only a lack of stomach
acid to digest the solid bulk of evil presented.
History has repeatedly taught us lessons we must
learn from. Neville Chamberlain anyone?.
We can stop this clown before he is unstoppable.
If Hitler had nukes France would no longer be a Nation,
not to mention most of Europe.
I could go on ranting, but my point has been made.
I wouldn't call any of these apologists unpatriotic,
I have another label in mind. Naive in their dreamed
up sense of security.

He's a slab of meat with a pretty face, just like all the other Hollywood ho's. You just keep him talking so you can watch him bat those pretty little eyes...then you kick him to the curb. Same old same old Hollywood drill, no matter the gender.

"“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.

George, Dahlin, you really ought not to be taxing your pretty little head with something like war. Besides, casting for that role was completed back in November of 2000. The man who won it is a natural. Perfect, in fact. He has major star quality, he is smart, strong, gutsy and has a genuine, Old West, rugged appeal. Men like and respect him, women love hin. He's the real deal, George, and the camera eats him up. Two weeks ago he blew out all previous Box Office records. So, Dahlin, you be sweet, drop the acting coach, get a history tutor and lets do lunch soon, have your people call my people. "air kiss, air kiss* ~.~

George C. Looney

[cubreporter]

Absolutely. Actors. That's ALL they are. Guess Hollywood doesn't care about much as long as they are safe and sound in their own phony world. Get a clue George...your ignorance is showing.

[Happygal]

He may be dumb...but he definitely wins out with the ~swoon~ factor. ;-)

[cubreporter]

He's mouthing off now 'cause he has a movie coming out or is out ( either way I really don't care 'cause I won't spend money to see it) and he wants the publicity.

As for showing his behind...first of all I would rather do something more intelligent and fun than look at someone else's BEHIND. I think you should keep your behind covered up George...it would be doing all of us a favor.

Is showing your butt more important than the United States of America fighting to keep YOUR BUTT FREE????????????? You silly, silly excuse for a man.

[No Left Turn]

I'd like to start, but first someone needs to translate this from jibberish.

I searched for an "official" home page to reply to (unsuccessful), but I did come across this little nugget at AskMen.com (whatever that is)http://www.askmen.com/men/entertainment_60/63_george_clooney.html

"Run for office? No. I've slept with too many women, I've done too many drugs, and I've been to too many parties."
-George Clooney

Yep. This is your brain on drugs...

The thought being, that if all the world powers had nuclear capabilities, no one would light the match in the gas soaked room. If Oppenheimer truly did have these leanings, he would join the group that things America is not worthy of being the sole world leader.
