Stay the course, Joe Biden

By Michael J.W. Stickings

I realize that Arianna is being somewhat facetious in calling on Vice President Biden to resign in principle over his objection to an escalation of the war in Afghanistan, but my advice to Biden would be to continue to speak out in support of his principles, and of his current position, from within the administration, where he can still impact policy. Ultimately, one would expect Biden to put loyalty before principle and accept Obama's decision. Until then, though, he ought to remain the vocal skeptic that he has become. We need him as close to the Oval Office as possible.
