Conservative Refocus

By Barry Secrest

On December 14th, 2007 , Senator Joe Biden went to great lengths in threatening  impeachment of President Bush with regard to the posssibility of military action against Iran, at the time. In a clip from YouTube, Biden is shown repeatedly haranguing Bush on only the remote possibility of  military action against Iran without consulting Congress.

Fast forward to the present day, and we can only wonder where the angst, the cries of foul and the feigned outrage is with regard to Obama's current military action in Libya. This same double standard can be seen on recent showings of support for Obama's decision on MSNBC by multiple personalities. The simple fact is that Iran is a far more clear and present danger to the US than Libya will ever be.

It would seem that when a political group has, essentially, no principles in place --then--partisanship becomes the governing conscience.
