And an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.

I can't find any hand grenade that is effective out to 100 feet, so it never got close enough to even wound him.

By the way, I was impressed with the press conference yesterday, the way the Georgian president spoke in English. He was unabashedly supportive of W and the US.

3 likely groups of suspects:

- Islamokazis
- Putin's men
- Eduard Shevardnadze's gang

(approximately 3.5 hours afterward)

CNN reporting that Americans did not know until 2 hours after the President and Laura had left Tblisi.

CNN reporting the grenade landed approximately 100 feet from the stage, hitting someone in the back of the head.

...someone tried to assassinate the President and it is only a blurb on the news? Man this world is f-d up..

Pretty damn unbelievable, isn't it?

Had this happened to the impeached one, there'd be a 24/7 retrospect on the life and times of BJ...and a call to take Rush off the air!

You are right. How the heck are they going to find the assailant in a crowd like that!?

Georgia is not far from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey and Iran. Read your Ali & Nino. It's all there.

- A device, possibly a hand grenade, was thrown toward the stage on which President Bush addressed 300,000 cheering Georgians on Tuesday, but it was not discovered until after the president's appearance, NBC News has learned.

Wait a second here... ~possibly~ a hand grenade? Since it clearly didn't 'splode... perhaps it was ~possibly~ not a grenade? Now it's just some kind of "device"?
