For being a self-proclaimed foreign policy expert, Joe Biden sure gets a lot of facts wrong about foreign policy.

Most recently, claiming Iran has a population of 40 million people when it's actually over 80 million
It's not the first time he has messed up country populations...like when he said one of his plans would put 720 million women back into the workforce despite a US population of only 330 million
Biden also suggested a few weeks ago that Venezuela bordered Bolivia, which is actually 100s of miles away
It's not just populations and geography...After directly saying, “if I have any expertise, it’s in American foreign policy,” Biden referred to the G7 as the G8
Maybe that's why he keeps getting the big stuff wrong, like when he has repeatedly claimed that "China's not a problem"
Or when he opposed the raid on Osama bin Laden
No wonder President Obama's Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Biden has been wrong on nearly every foreign policy issue in the last 4 decades
And another fact wrong from the self-proclaimed expert.

In what was billed as a major foreign policy speech, Joe Biden confuses Iraq and Iran.

"The Iran parliament, the Iran parliament voted to eject all Americans and coalition forces from the country"
