Ironically, Kerry's botched joke was 100% true, even if it was interpreted the other way. So it doesn't matter to me what the intent was - Kerry was right either way.

War in Iraq opposed

The policy-making body of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA called this week for "an immediate phased withdrawal of American and coalition forces from Iraq."

The call, which came as part of a pastoral message by the annual General Assembly meeting in Orlando, Fla., will be forwarded to President Bush and members of Congress.

Of the more than 200 delegates, two abstained and one voted no.

The General Assembly — which represents 45 million members of 100,000 Orthodox and Protestant churches, including historical African American and traditional "peace" congregations, in the country — also adopted a new policy on human biotechnology, titled "Fearfully and Wonderfully Made."

The policy proclaims the sanctity of all human life as God's creation and condemns human reproductive cloning. But the policy acknowledges that differences exist among the 35 member communions regarding stem cell research.
