And in the news today, Russia is planning to resume "nook-yoo-lar" (as bush pronounces it) testing soon.

I once heard Jimmy Carter use the same pronounciation. He should know better, he served on a nuclear vessel in the Navy.

Media criticism not withstanding, "nook-yoo-lar" appears as an accepted pronunciation in the Oxford English Dictionary.
