ANGELINA JOLIE - JOLIE BLASTS U.S. MILITARY SPENDING
ANGELINA JOLIE has blasted the U.S. over Iraq, insisting the government's war expenditure could be better spent on education.
The Oscar-winning actress and UN goodwill ambassador spoke out at the Clinton Global Initiative, an event organised by Bill Clinton to address the most pressing global concerns.
Urging the world to get its "priorities in order", she claimed a UNICEF appeal for educational needs was dwarfed by America's military spending.
Jolie said, "The entire appeal equals about eight hours of current spending in Iraq. So just a few hours would send 150,000 children to school.
"Nothing wins more hearts and minds and nothing gives more freedom than education; and nothing is a better deterrent for conflict than an educated child,"

The limitless ignorance of this woman know no bounds. She is reading too much
of her own PR crap.
I've read countless articles about OUR US MILITARY MEN collecting money for
fiscally disadvantaged Iraqi men, women, and most of all children to send them
to the "Great Satan"; that's the US for those who are also ignorant, for
seriously needed surgery for congenital blindness, cleft pallet, and other
serious deformitites and illnesses. What has she done with her multimillions
besides engender tons of superficial attempts at being a "humanitarian" and
create positive press for her very distubed mind. A princess Dianna she is NOT
and never will be.

Can it be possible that these ditzes have never heard of Doctors Without
Borders or Larry and Frances Jones who deliver tons of food, clothing,
household good, and medical care for people all over the world including the US
OF A. These two are dumb beyond comprehension. I will never forget the blurb
about Pitt's being so shocked at the anti-american sentiment in India. DUH,
World Religions 101 Mr. Pitt. Read the Quaran from cover to cover you idiot.
These are NOT Terrorists like the media wants us so much to believe. They are
Muslim Fundamentalists. PLEASE get it straight and reconcile the difference
that exists in the Muslim world. Personally I have many Muslim friends that I
consider to be better people and dear close friends than many in the US that
have crossed my path. How can people who pretend to be what they are not every
day of their lives and expect anyone in the universe take their distored views
seriously?? Their whole lives are nothing but deception like pretending to be a
devoted husband and then dumping his wife. Get real!!!!!!!
