is that having been in the Senate previously - for 36 years - and then a VP for 8 years, he has a deep deep knowledge of what is going on over there, particularly since he was Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee when 9/11 happened. So he saw "the beginning" of this conflict, including what lead up to it (and all the intelligence info back then), and he is seeing it through "to the end".
