Frist Calls for Bioterrorism Protection (says S Korea has nukes)

In what appears to have been a rhetorical blunder in a speech at Harvard Medical School (HMS) on Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said South Korea currently possesses nuclear weapons and is developing a long-range missile program.

The Tennessee Republican seems to have conflated South Korea—a longtime U.S. ally—with North Korea, a totalitarian state that claims to possess nuclear arms.

In a question-and-answer session after the speech, a student asked Frist why—given the urgency of the bioterror threat—Congress has focused funding on efforts to defend against nuclear attacks. The most recent Pentagon budget, which Frist helped to steer through the Senate, allocates $10 billion toward the so-called “Star Wars” ballistic missile shield.

Frist responded, “Right now in South Korea, and you read it on the front page—Star Wars may not be the answer to it—but there are people in South Korea now who are testing missiles to send out which will be able to reach 500 miles, 1,000 miles, 1,500 miles. And we know that they’ve got nuclear weapons.”

Welsh singer CHARLOTTE CHURCH has slammed American President GEORGE W BUSH as a "proper weirdo" after he mistook Wales for a town.

Church, who is re-launching herself as a pop star with upcoming new album TISSUES AND ISSUES, was astonished at the political leader's lack of geographical knowledge.

The 19-year-old says, "George Bush hasn't got a clue what he's doing. He asked me what state Wales was in. I said, 'It's its own country next to England Mr Bush.'
