Thrown within 100 feet of Bush on stage. Pin was pulled. Georgian securiy got it. Thats all from NBC news.
HI
OMG.......My computer has been turned off because of thunder storms, and I didn't know about this until now. Thanks for your ping.
Just saw it on FOX.
Thanks, Pitinkie.
You're a good troll you are. ;-)
can't watch six feet under, as was said, ALL GAY ALL THE TIME, I just can't watch, makes me wanna hurl! Literally.
Ditto for Bravo, even if the show on isn't showing some homosexual, the commercials do and are not stop. I really hate the feeling of nausea, it's not fun, so don't seek to feel that way.
My first thought is along the lines of the old joke. Terrorist holds grenade in weak hand, pulls pin with strong hand, then throws pin. Standing there with grenade still in hand.
Honestly, my guess is it wasn't a grenade that was thrown.

Found a source.
Thanks....so 30 ft out for serious damage...I assume lesser damage can be further out.
AHH yes..troll I am...;-) channeling Star Wars Yoda
I linked the MSNBC story also.
Might not be a bad guess.
In a situation like this, the rumor mill goes wild. Impossible to know what actually happened at this point.
Don't feel bad, none of us knew it til now. MSM hadn't reported it.
I second that.
AM -- pitinkie found a link, could you please post it at the top of the thread, so new people won't keep asking "where is the link".
Thanks.
Here is the link to the article pitinkie found:

ABC Report: Grenade thrown near President
GEORGIA - According to a report by ABC News, a grenade was thrown near a stage in the former Soviet republic of Georgia where President Bush was giving a speech.
According to the report, after President Bush left, the Secret Service was informed by Georgian authorities that during his speech, someone threw a device within 100 feet from the stage.
The device hit someone and fell to the ground, but did not go off. It was later determined that the device was a grenade. The Secret Service is investigating.
No, Randi Rhodes of Air America threw it!!! She and the Democrat scum on Air America want to kill the President!!!
Correct. At 100 feet he might get pelted with a couple fragments, but generally no damage. Let's just say that the ballistic coefficient of a grenade fragment is very, very low.
Yeah there is the Gay Thing, But there is so much more,We are hooked, LOL!
About 300 pounds.
I'm changing it back!
ten hours ago would have been about 6:08 p.m. local (Tblisi).....
