1. Well, it failed one way or another.
I'd be sad, but I actually think it'd be horrible. Last thing we need is to make him a martyr too.

2. I think if there had been a plot, we'd have heard.
What better way to generate sympathy.

7. They say they have a photo of the person who threw the grenade
in Bush's direction during his trip to Ukraine, Georgia? Someone has posted a reward to be given to anyone who can identify the person.

10. Hahaha. "Crime Stoppers" on the international level...
This just goes to show you what a fraud this administration really is! The President of the United States makes a public appearance in a foreign country...Now we're talking about THE President who has perhaps the best security in the world...and "someone" throws a grenade at him but no one is arrested. Not only that, but we have to show the "photo" of the "suspect" to the public and offer up a reward in order to find him...??? They must really think we're stupid :eyes:
