Even Angelina Jolie Says Surge Has Worked

J.J. Jackson | March 2, 2008 

Actress Angelina Jolie has an editorial in the Washington Post that is sure to make liberals go bonkers. In her editorial she pleads for MORE money and MORE resources to be spent in Iraq even as liberals in Congress and on the campaign trail are whining about the cost.

As for the question of whether the surge is working, I can only state what I witnessed: U.N. staff and those of non-governmental organizations seem to feel they have the right set of circumstances to attempt to scale up their programs. And when I asked the troops if they wanted to go home as soon as possible, they said that they miss home but feel invested in Iraq. They have lost many friends and want to be a part of the humanitarian progress they now feel is possible.

Jolie’s plea is of course to help prevent a humanitarian crisis because of the millions of Iraqis who have been displaced by Al-Qeada terrorists over the past years and beg for government assistance.

But it is still counter to what typical liberal talking points are given on Iraq.

Angelina, call me. We’ll do lunch. Because you aren’t going to be invited to too many more Hollywood cocktail parties once word of this gets around. Heck you better watch out you don’t get yourself on the blacklist and find yourself begging for work.
