Angelina Jolie has been busy since arriving in Iraq. She’s been in long meetings to discuss the plight of Iraqi refugees who have been displaced both within their own country and abroad, and is pushing for more international aid to help them during this crisis. In between meetings, she also boosted morale by visiting with some of the American troops in the Green Zone, eating lunch with them.
There are several great photos of Angelina in her meetings, with the troops, and walking in the Green Zone in a protective helmet. She is so consistently brave when it comes time to stand up for people who need help; not everyone would head into Baghdad like that. I’m so glad that she’s passionate about important global issues instead of just worrying about partying like half of Hollywood.
More photos below the cut.

Hi Sherry glad to hear it, I watched her 6 hour documentary:” God’s Warriors CNN’s Christiane Amanpour explores the roles of faith and religion in modern society in a special report”. There is also a short video of her explaining the special on CNN. Women are doing big things, we have the power to choose where, and on what we place our attention/focus. My prayers for Angie a safe trip home and a happy reunion with the family. Angie,where ever you may be right now (smile) God Bless you and your family. I’ll be back to check. Love your site Sherry. Happy weekend to everyone.
How can anyone criticize such a brave and wonderful woman…forget her past because it was caused by you know who…besides it doesn’t matter any more….Angelina is one brave girl! My daughter thinks she’s great and my son believes in her….way to go Angie!
God bless and protects her always. I have my prayers for this woman. Even in a situation like this (un-glamour moment) she still looks gorgeous. beauty indeed comes from within.
so let me understand,angie may not be pregnant because she went to a war zone,that bullet proof vest covering her stomach tells me everything i need to know that she is indeed pregnant-but to each his own.it is interesting angie has not denied the rumors that she is pregnant which she has always done in the past.
I’m astonished she’s let herself be used for propaganda purposes like this, look at that photo? Terrible.
I think she is amazing! With all this media attention on Britney, I’m really glad someone’s genuinely interested in the wellfare of the victims of war.
There’s loads of celebrities who “dabble” with charities, but Angelina is one of the few who are actually out there constantly and consistently, trying to make a difference. And the fact that she’s out there alone and without a huge entourage of assistants and such tells me that she actually cares.
I’m sure Brad is worried about her but I don’t think he has much say in what she does ;) I’m sure he was well aware of her going on these kinds of trips when they got together and from what I gather it’s one of the reasons he fell for her. Because she’s about more than herself and her career.
And if she’s pregnant like is reported … well great, but she’s not handicapped. It’s a risky move to go to Irak but I think she sees it as something worth taking a few risks.
I’m constantly amazed at how much she’s grown as a person and how fully she lives her life. She’s a true inspiration. Career, family, charities and geniuinely helping people. I bet she doesn’t go to bed every night thinking she should have done something.
She is an amazing woman. I hope she goes home safe and sound. If she is pregnant, she must be at the very early stage so don’t worry about it. Her gynecologist, Dr. Rothbart could have warned her if it is too dangerous. Actually, you could be sleeping comfortably anywhere at your house, if it’s your time to go, the walls could cave in and you’re dead. I think this is why Brad loves Angie. She is a universal woman with a passion to help others. The entertainment world should be proud of her too. Instead of partying in resort beaches and nightclubs, she chose this event with the soldiers. Love you Angie.
Loren – I *love* Christiane Amanpour, she’s one of my favorites.
She’s not the first female to put herself in a difficult position nor will she be the last. Christiane Amanpour is an example. A journalist who is very passionate about what she does. I feel Angie has the same passion for her position with UNHCR.

War correspondent. Dedicated journalist. Now add “new mother.”
Just an observation…. show only takes off her jacket when she is sitting at a table!! maybe trying to hide something?!! hope so
Yes I agree with Carrie. I used to live in a conflict area and I moved back to the US because of my kids. So, whether or not she is pregnant she is still responsible for 4 little kids at home. I’m not saying it’s reckless but it’s tenuous at best. Do you have captions for any of the pictures? Who is the lady with her and Gen. P.?
Brad’s got to be worried sick at home. Hope she stays safe and out of harm.
I haven’t made my decision on the pregnant rumor yet. I’m like fifty fifty. I would love for her to be pregnant but at the same time I know she wants more kids but I feel she already has enough on her plate and should take it easy.
I wonder about the pictures of her in a vest and helmet?? Do you think those are real or media shots? I can’t imagine her doing that pregnant – or Brad Pitt thinking it would be cool. It is one thing to do brave things when it is just your life, but every instinct in my body was to protect that infant when I was pregnant. I think she’s wonderful. I don’t doubt her commitment to these issues – who could? But doesn’t it seem a little at odd with being pregnant – those pictures. I can understand her flying and traveling and representing issues, but being in a situation where you need an armed escort with military weapon and a helmet and bullet proof vest.. pregnant? I think maybe she isn’t pregnant after all.
