I'm not buying it yet.

One hint might be the itinerary. Was he supposed to be home directly after that appearance?

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

I'd pick it up so that everyone could see it and say "Excuse me, could whoever is throwing grenades please wrap them in safety foam first?".

You can never be to careful, since there might be kids about and bruises are unsightly.

I imagine that a preview of the video tapes of the occasion will show someone throwing something and someone getting struck in the head.

Perhaps we'll be able to identify the perp that way.

Perhaps the video tapes will show the local security folks rushing the device and 'walking away' with it...

LOL - I crack myself up..............

Yes, I believe so. Not 100% sure though.

Controversy Swirls

Apparently there was no explosion, and opinions strongly differ on what happened.

According to Yahoo/AP:

Guram Donadze, spokesman for the Georgian Interior Ministry, said no hand grenade was thrown close to Bush.
