U.S. evangelical support for Iraq war slipping
By Ed Stoddard

DALLAS (Reuters) - A new poll shows support for the war in Iraq is slipping among white evangelical Protestants, previously a key pillar of support for President George W. Bush's conduct of the conflict.

The poll is the latest bad domestic news for Bush and the Republicans about Iraq with just 12 days to go to congressional elections in which the Democrats are widely expected to capture control of the House of Representatives.

Conducted by the PEW Research Center, it found that 58 percent of white evangelical Protestants surveyed felt the United States made the right decision in using force in Iraq to oust Saddam Hussein, below the 71 percent in a previous poll in September.

This compared to little change overall among committed Republicans, with 78 percent saying it was the correct course versus 76 percent in September.

3. And do the white evangelical Protestants truly believe Jesus

would agree with bush's INVASION of a nation that hadn't been doing anything to anyone?

Do they REALLY believe Jesus would condone what's done & being done in American white evangelical Protestants' names in Iraq??!

What sort of MONSTER do they think Jesus is??!
