It all describes the country Charlie Wilson was trying to help. It's very likely ("one could presume") that none of the people who elected Charlie Wilson ("none of his constituents back in East Texas") could find Afghanistan on a map. In other words, the people who elected him didn't care about Afghanistan's issues and were so uninformed about that country that they would not have been able to even tell you where on the face of the globe this country is.
