jQuery won't parse my JSON from AJAX query

So I have parsed and JSON stringified a ‘free to use’ KML file (which is basically just XML for Google maps) so that I can loop through every countries borders. Now my issue is when I do attempt to go through the JSON array it gives me “syntax error”.

My current code is:

$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "./doc.json",
    dataType: "json",
    success: function (json) {
        var len = json.length;
        for (i = 0; i <= len; i++) {
            //Do stuff
        }
    }
});

For some reason this is giving me this error:

syntax error @ file:///C:/Users/Toms/Documents/WorldWar/doc.json:1

I have the file on pastebin (warning its rather large) http://pastebin.com/0CN9EWja and I have attempted to use ‘JSON Lint’ to verify it however the file is too large and crashes my browser before being able to verify it. I can see there is a few null arrays thrown in there randomly but I wouldn’t have thought that this would stop it being valid JSON.
