Democrats point out that McCain misspoke on ABC's Good Morning America, as he talked about the problems on the "Iraq-Pakistan border." He probably meant to say the Afghanistan-Pakistan border as they were talking about Afghanistan and there is no Iraq-Pakistan border.
McCain was asked if he agrees that the situation in Afghanistan is precarious and urgent. To that, he said, "Well I think it's very serious...I don't know the exact vocabulary, but it's a serious situation, but there's a lot of things we need to do. We have a lot of work to do and I'm afraid it's a very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq/Pakistan border."
McCain has made other mistakes on the region, including confusing Sunni with Shia and on more than one occasion stating incorrectly that Al Qaeda was getting help from Iran.
