Just hours after Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made a surprise visit to Beirut to confer with Lebanese officials, Dr. Rice found that her efforts were largely upstaged by the high-wattage amateur diplomacy of the two global superstars.
"When I saw the conflict in the Middle East spiraling out of control, I recognized that there were only two parties who could sit down at a negotiating table and bring peace to the region," Ms. Jolie told reporters today at a press conference in Jerusalem. "And those two parties were me and Bono."
After reaching out to Bono to make her historic offer of a lasting peace, Ms. Jolie dropped off her infant child Shiloh Jolie-Pitt with a babysitter in Namibia and jetted for the Middle East.
But even as Ms. Jolie and Bono signed their landmark Mideast peace accord, representatives from both Israel and Hezbollah complained that neither of them had been consulted "at all" about the terms of the agreement.
"That's true, we did not consult them," Ms. Jolie told reporters. "We thought long and hard about it, and Bono and I came to the conclusion that Israel and Hezbollah would only screw things up."
Elsewhere, hospitalized due to his hunger strike, former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein demanded that doctors remove his feeding tube because it was interfering with his ability to make incoherent anti-American outbursts.
..hope they don't fold it and leave it in the ladies room
OK. I'm a bit confused. Does this mean that Jolie and Bono are no longer fighting?
Proof that rock stars and movie stars get the most potent drugs.
Arrogance?
Been awhile since I posted, but I couldn't resist.
Maybe somebody needs to tell Bono and Jolie that those who are fighting for their right to existence don't give a flying rat's butt what they think.
...signifying precisely...nothing.
we're saved, oh thank goodness we're saved
Maybe its mentioned in the Peace Accords.
**LOL**
If I never heard the name Angelina Jolie again it'd be okay
Can you imagine?
"All we are saying..."
cute
seriously though Jolie is a total idiot
bono on the other hand is pretty sharp. I like him.
This has to be a parody!
I'm sure many an American male would like for Jolie to meet the Bono.
