What a missed opportunity!

WASHINGTON, May 11 (Xinhuanet) -- The White House said Wednesday that President George W. Bush was never in danger during an incident in which a hand grenade was thrown to the stage where he made a speech in Tbilisi, Georgia on Tuesday.

Asked if Bush's life had been in danger, White House spokesman Scott McClellan replied: "No".

"The Secret Service goes to great lengths to ensure that the appropriate security measures are in place," McClellan told reporters.

The US Secret Service said Tuesday that it was informed by Georgian authorities, after Bush left Georgia earlier on the day, of a report that a hand grenade were thrown within 100 feet (30 meters) of Bush during his speech.

The report said a Georgian security officer picked up the device and removed it from the area. Georgian security officials said Wednesday that the grenade was not in working condition.

"The Secret Service and the FBI continue to look into it. Thereare different reports about what happened and what exactly it was," McClellan said.

Bush spoke before an estimated 300,000 cheering Georgians in Tbilisi's Freedom Square before he left for the United States after a four-country trip that also included stops in Russia, Latvia and the Netherlands. Enditem

A bad throw and a bad grenade, and a bad day for the rest of the world.

So seriously, do you actually wish someone had been succesful with that grenade?

Seriously? No. I don't wish harm on anyone, and it's not my place to decide who should live or die.

*claps*

Given some of the things people can sue for, I'd be careful what you said. I know people who have been kicked out of college for away messages on IM about their roommate...not that I think you'll actually get in trouble. But precautions are equals a good thing!

Only if it had taken out a woman on her way to get an abortion as well.

Culture of life and all...

George Bush thinks it's his, though.

It is because the dorks REALLY want Vice President Chaney to be the President for the rest of Bush's term and then elected and re-elected for 8 more years on top of that.

There was a student at UC Santa Cruz who made some flip remark in the campus paper last year about intending harm to the president. I saw the original item and thought it wasn't the smartest thing to say to a reporter.

Sure enough, the Secret Service came and paid him a visit, then invited him over to San Jose to the federal building for a lengthier discussion. It was in the local paper.
