The White House's Communications Director, Steven Cheung, issued a statement condemning Clooney's comments, stating that the only person committing war crimes was Clooney for his "awful movies and terrible acting ability". Clooney responded by calling for vigorous debate and calling for the end of "infantile name calling". He also expressed concerns about the future of NATO, which has stood by many important alliances throughout the world.
