Was this an assassination attempt, and was President Bush the intended target?
U.S. officials are investigating a report that an apparent hand grenade landed about 100 feet from where President Bush was speaking Tuesday in Tblisi, the capital of Georgia, a Secret Service spokesman said.
The Secret Service has not yet confirmed whether the object was a real grenade and if so, whether the pin had been pulled, said spokesman Jim Mackin.
“We have not seen the reported device,” he said.
No explosion was reported.
Mackin said Georgian officials alerted their U.S. counterparts about the incident several hours after Bush departed the former Soviet republic, where he received an enthusiastic welcome in a public square in the capital.
I reckon it’s a safe bet we’ll hear more about this unfinished tale.

One response to “Grenade!”
I still am not clear as to what happened, when, and whether the President was around when it happened. All I know is–the Georgia People loved President Bush…and the MSM goes beserk over this grenade story. Not that is isn’t important, but they gave little coverage to Bush’s popularity over there.
