Bush’s Church Calls for U.S. Troop Withdrawal

HeadlineNov 01, 2005

President Bush and Dick Cheney are facing more opposition about the war in Iraq–this time from their own church. Last week the United Methodist Church passed a resolution calling for the U.S. to withdraw from Iraq. The resolution read in part “As people of faith, we raise our voice in protest against the tragedy of the unjust war in Iraq. Thousands of lives have been lost and hundreds of billions of dollars wasted in a war the United States initiated and should never have fought.” The church board also called on Congress to create and independent, bipartisan commission to investigate U.S. treatment of detainees overseas.
