Another Geographical Blunder

[Rubber Duck]

US Vice-President Dick Cheney has made a geographical gaffe during a foreign policy speech, appearing to confuse Peru with Venezuela...

He made the faux pas on Friday while addressing a lunch meeting of the Dallas-based World Affairs Council, which describes itself as an organisation set up to educate citizens on international affairs. :eek:

With him and Bush in charge, you certainly don't want to live anywhere that might be "confusingly similar". I wouldn't want to be nuked simply because they got in a muddle. :mad:

You must really love the U.K... - I should start posting daily news stories about how bad the U.K. really is... ;-)

Not really, I moan about our government on a daily basis, but at least the people in charge of our nuclear weapons don't appear to be completely delusional.

That's "nucular" weapons, mister.
