I was browsing the internet today and came across this image. Could this be just a simple mistake or was this done intentionally? How could they have mistaken Iraq for Egypt?!??!!?

Probably the guy who put the map together was just your typical American who has trouble placing other countries on a map.

SAD but TRUE!!

I would have to know what they were talking about to decide if it was intentional or not? Was Egypt part of the discussion?

Yes, it is sad! But it's nothing new. News outlets of all kinds have regularly made retractions and corrections every since news media has been around.

Just my 2-cents

A simple mistake is what I would call it for whoever made that mistake, however, it is NOT SO SIMPLE a mistake for those who should have caught it before it was broadcast.
Everyone makes mistakes. It will always happen and there is nothing anyone can do to completely prevent them.
You paid enough attention in school to see the mistake and realized that what you were being told wasn't right.
I hope there are many others that can also see the same.

Anyone who takes a shot like that should at least be man enough to also say where they're from.
Are you saying that if I gave you a blank map of the world, you could point out each and every country?
I'll admit right here and now that I sure as hell can't name them all, so until YOU can name all 195+/- countries, please feel free to keep thoughts like that to yourself or better yet, just admit that you also can't name them all. (That, in my eyes, would be a better way to get respect from others.)

And to think, I know where almost everything is on a map. Even Moldova. Just try and find that one.

That's one that came to my mind and was just wondering if anyone would mention it here.
