McCain worried about the "situation on the Iraq/Pakistan border" (Note to McCain: Iraq doesn't border Pakistan)

Yep, John McCain, whose campaign is based on his long-time foreign policy experience, told ABC that's he very worried about the Iraq/Pakistan border. But, there isn't one. Iran, a somewhat important nation in the scheme of things in the Middle East, is in between:

Asked by ABC’s Diane Sawyer Monday morning whether the "the situation in Afghanistan in precarious and urgent," McCain responded: "I think it’s serious. . . .

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," said McCain, R-Ariz., said on "Good Morning America."

Iraq and Pakistan do not share a border. Afghanistan and Pakistan do.
Pretty basic stuff. Pretty big mistake for John McCain.
