so I'm not sure if this really accomplishes anything. On the other hand, it's the first time I'm aware of where he's named names. I don't know if that's good or not. Awaiting your sage advice, people! :shrug:
BIDEN JUMPS INTO THE FRAY ON IRAN

Today, Biden released a statement criticizing Clinton's yes vote on the Kyl-Lieberman measure -- and also Obama for not voting on it. "I voted against the amendment to designate Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization because I don’t trust this administration not to twist its words into a justification for war. Do you think this president abided by the spirit of the 1998 Iraqi Liberation Act?... Unlike Sen. Clinton, I don’t trust this administration to follow the plain meaning of the law. And unlike Sen. Obama, I believe this was a vitally important vote – not one to miss and then complain about later."
Biden adds, "Ratcheting up tension with Iran plays right into President Ahmadinejad’s hands. It allows him to distract the Iranian people from the terrible failures of his leadership. And it keeps oil prices high, which just lines the pockets of Iran’s government. It’s hard to think of a more self-defeating policy."
