Brad, Angelina, and their 4 kids are all together as usual in the Austin Texas area while Brad works in his new film with Sean Penn. Brad himself told Larry King that their LAW is when one works the other is with the kids and the family always stays together. They are just doing what they always do, and have done for 3 years now.

All family there.

Actress and humanitarian activist Angelina Jolie said Thursday that the reinforcement of U.S. troops in Iraq has created an opportunity for humanitarian programs to boost assistance for Iraqi refugees.

In an op-ed piece published by the Washington Post, titled "A Reason to Stay in Iraq," Jolie details the plight of refugees and says their conditions have not improved since she visited the country last August to urge governments to provide more support.

Jolie, who has been a U.N. goodwill ambassador since 2001, was in Baghdad earlier this month to again highlight the refugee problem. She talked with Gen. David Petraeus, the American military commander in Iraq, and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, the U.S. Embassy said.

Petraeus "told me he would support new efforts to address the humanitarian crisis" as much as possible, "which leaves me hopeful that more progress can be made," the actress wrote.

She said she stressed to Iraqi officials there must be a coherent plan for helping some 2 million Iraqis who are taking advantage of the downturn in violence to begin trickling back to abandoned homes from havens elsewhere in the country. A similar number fled Iraq to escape the bloodshed.

"It will be quite a while before Iraq is ready to absorb more than 4 million refugees and displaced people," Jolie wrote. "But it is not too early to start working on solutions."

The actress, who works on behalf of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, urged America's presidential candidates and congressional leaders to step up financing for aid to displaced Iraqis. UNHCR has asked for $261 million this year — "less than the U.S. spends each day to fight the war in Iraq," she wrote.

Addressing the question of whether the "troop surge" has worked, Jolie said that "I can only state what I witnessed."

"When I asked the troops if they wanted to go home as soon as possible, they said that they miss home but feel invested in Iraq," she wrote. "They have lost many friends and want to be a part of the humanitarian progress they now feel is possible."

According to a local news station, Texans spotted Brad and Angie yesterday in Smithville.

Angelina Jolie has penned an op-ed article urging the United States to help Iraqi refugees who have been displaced by the war. In The Washington Post piece titled, "Staying to Help in Iraq," the actress and goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees says American support is key to addressing the humanitarian crisis, which has displaced more than 4 million people. Of the 2 million refugees within the country, 58 percent are under 12 years old, according to Jolie. The 32-year-old actress, who recently visited the war-torn country, writes, "What we cannot afford, in my view, is to squander the progress that has been made. In fact, we should step up our financial and material assistance."

Sorry to break this to ya, but nobody cares about Brads old ass ( he only looks decent from a distance) we want to see Angelina's baby bump. duh!

Brad looks great! He don`t need a night club - he has the best looking girl at home.......

This is a silly article Chris. Not everyone wants strippers and chicks on the side. Brad has Angelina Jolie at home, she's amazing. He needs nothing else. If his family are his savior so be it.

Regarding other posters..Granted Ang is a humanitarian...but quit making her a saint people. She is a man eater, she does not care for other woman. She did meddle in two relationships and was instrumental in breaking them up..so she may be a humanitarian but she's no saint.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I LOVE how BRAD got UGLY after Angie stole him from Jennifer. SERVES THAT BITCH RIGHT!

What a dork? Angelina took the hot
right out of him. When all else fails
they can try to same the world or have
another kid. That keeps them in the
news for awile.

You gotta see his new hair cut. Its quite short and thats make him looks younger.

Brad better be careful if he is in Texas, we don't like whimpy men here! And frankly Jolie is very disliked, here making another bomb! Go Away!

Brad is the most beatiful in the world, whatever he does with his hair, always look good.

Oh, you're so vicious! You hit me with your flower!

Planet Earth thinks you are a douche bag. France and Germany have asked me to tell you to please leave!

I can tell that some of you are living three years in the past. I do know that in 2004, Brad was telling G.Q. that he wanted children evidently that whining Jen lost her man over it. This is all so old. BTW,why do we always blame the other woman and not the men?

A Texas chick here hauling my azz wherever Brad Pitt may be i will follow.
Love that man. I realise Brad loves his Angie but hell it's okay to fantasize .
BTW I am totally impressed with Angie's op ed piece in the wash.Post.That girl surely does know how to bring awareness to the poor refugee's. Good for her and my Brad i dream about.
Hope they have twins then only 7 more kids to go.
Would loved to be involved in the "to Go". I will carry Brad's 7th or 8th child..oh yes in a NY min.

Kudos to the Jolie Pitt's !

Let's face it, Brad is pretty people.
