Now they say the fake granade thrown at bush was found not thrown!
Inactive’ grenade found near Bush speech site
Georgian official denies device thrown during appearance in Tbilisi

TBILISI, Georgia - Georgia’s security chief said Wednesday that an inactive grenade was found near the site where President Bush made a speech in Tbilisi.

Gela Bezhuashvili, secretary of the National Security Council, said the Soviet-era grenade was found 100 feet from the tribune where Bush spoke on Tuesday.

U.S. Secret Service spokesman Jonathan Cherry said Tuesday that his agency had been informed that a device, possibly a hand grenade, had been thrown near the stage during Bush’s speech, hit someone in the crowd and fallen to the ground

6. Of course
I thought this story was fishy. Why did the SS not know about it until two hours later? Aren't they supposed to be the best security? And last night (or early this morning I guess) I was listening to Bernie Ward and on their newsreport it was ABC and according to their correspondents they didn't see anything unusual and they were on the ground. :shrug: I think something is about to hit the fan and they're trying to hold onto their power.

7. So now the story changes
what a surprise! You folks have to excuse Georgia's state media, they are not as well trained or paid as well as our fine American journalists! Just look at a FAUXnews editor - by himself, he can whip up spin, crossout words that badmouth Bush AND suckoff whatever Repuke Congress-critter happens to be on the show that night. Now THAT is talent!

8. Oh the web we weave when we practice to deceive.
There's so many lies this administration has told they couldn't possibly keep them all straight.
