A close call today for our President, Thank God he's home safe and sound.....
I don't understand how a grenade could have been thrown on the stage with him. He was surrounded with a bullet proof screen.
From a news article:
Ongoing fights in violent separatist regions, military campaigns against terrorists in the Pankisi Gorge and the recent abductions of foreigners presented security challenges that required Bush to deliver his open-air speech from a podium surrounded by a high wall of a clear bulletproof screen with sharpshooters on rooftops surrounding the square.
