Sean Penn Says War in Iraq Is Avoidable
Penn, Hollywood's Minister without Portfolio, is in Iraq this weekend on a fact-finding mission. Meanwhile, most of us here at home are hoping he only has a one-way ticket. Does anyone without more than half a brain actually care with Mr. Spicoli has to say about foreign affairs?? I didn't think so....
"Absolutely I think war can be avoided, but obviously it's going to take enormous commitment on the part of the Iraqi government as well as the United States," the actor-director told Reuters television in an interview on Sunday.
"I will certainly do what I can to support that commitment to looking for other options," Penn said.
The former Hollywood bad boy and Oscar nominee paid for a $56,000 advertisement in the Washington Post in October accusing President Bush of stifling debate on Iraq.
He declined to renew his criticism of Bush on foreign soil, saying he would reserve political comments for his return home.
Oh, goody; I'm all atwitter with anticipation. What a f*****g moron....
