Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden brings some foreign-policy heft to Barack Obama’s ticket, but the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee also brings a share of baggage.

Before the Iraq invasion, Biden was criticized for holding imbalanced hearings that were heavily weighted toward Iraq War hawks and then – after losing out on a proposed two-step amendment on authorizing the war – voted for the resolution that gave President George W. Bush the power to invade.

(The written story continues below.)

Gareth Porter, a historian and investigative journalist on U.S. foreign and military policy, and Lawrence J. Korb , the Council on Foreign Relations’ director of national security studies, discuss Biden’s world view and impact on the Democratic ticket.
