Jessica Simpsons shocking Iraq trip film footage missing
Jessica Simpsons shocking Iraq trip film footage missing
July 27, 2005, 7:33:43




JESSICA SIMPSON wants to know where missing footage of her and husband NICK LACHEY's harrowing trip to Iraq got to - because she thinks Americans would like to see just how bad conditions are there.

The pop singers-turned-reality TV couple travelled to the war-torn nation to visit US troops as part of a recent ABC TV variety special, and they were both left shellshocked by what they saw.

But all the controversial moments and harrowing footage of the trip didn't appear in the fun-filled TV show.

Simpson says, "It was unbelievable. They didn't show a lot of what really went on with the enemy attacks and the shelling. There was so much stuff that went on and somehow the tapes got mysteriously misplaced.

1. At least she's speaking out
She's telling the truth which is good. Maybe now she's realizing what's wrong with W.

3. I don't honestly know much about her
But from what I've seen, she seems like a genuinely caring person. And she's NOT dumb, either. That's a role she's playing for public consumption. Unfortunately, her fundie asshole dad had her brainwashed. I hope she starts thinking for herself.

4. So Jessica the Bushie finally sees the light...
sorry to say, with her intellect, I kind of wish she'd stay on their side.

6. "she thinks Americans would like to see just how bad conditions are there"
Better late than never I suppose.

Although I wouldn't put it past her to be just trying to soften her Bush bot image by stepping away from selling the war in a statement that's getting almost no coverage.

8. I really don't know myself
I don't think Jessica would do that. I've watched her and Nick for a good while and she doesn't seem to be that type of person. Now if it was her sister I might believe. But not Jessica.

10. Do you think she'll ever figure out
the whole "censorship" thingie? Or will she just accept that "the luggage got lost"?

12. Jessica needs to watch Fahrenheit 911
wasn't there scenes in it that showed Baghdad before the war? The difference was striking as I recall. Maybe Jessica has started to open her eyes to the truth from her skewed freeper world-I hope so, and I hope it happens to others like her. It's the only way anything will change.
