Remember: Six months is a lifetime in politics. And Biden has been right on Iraq since the beginning. I've enjoyed his political commentary for most of my adult life.
The one problem he needs to work on is actually the same one that any senator has to work on: He has a tendency to slip into "Senate-speak." Senators rarely win the presidency, and I think this is a big part of the reason. They tend to sound like they're pontificating, and often use senate jargon.

I'm not sure what's up with Joe Biden. Part of his problem is that he's so long-winded and sometimes he ends up waffling back and forth on issues. He's got a decent plan for Iraq, but it literally depends on us taking over the Iraqi government and dictating to them how they are going to solve their country's political problem. That sort of negates the entire objective of Iraqi's determining their own future. They aren't going to just accept us telling them "Hey, we're going to divide your country up into three sections with a central government in the middle." I like Joe Biden, but I get the feeling that he has already accepted that he won't be the nominee and it has seemed to me that he has subtly thrown his support Hillary's way, in hopes of her appointing him as Secretary of State, which actually might be the perfect job for him. But if you believe in him, go for it. There's a long way to go in this race, and anything is possible at this point.

Joe Biden is one of the more qualified candidates from either party, sadly he has the charisma of a gold fish floating upside down in a bowl

Of all the Democrats running, he is the only one that comes close to making any sense on what to do about Iraq.
Unfortunately, except for that, he's just another liberal blowhard. This guy regularly embarasses himself on high profile committee hearings.
