Live grenade 'was threat to Bush'

A hand grenade found close to George W Bush during his visit to the ex-Soviet republic of Georgia was armed and could have gone off, an FBI agent has said.

Bryan Paarmann also said the device had been hurled before falling into the crowd listening to the US leader's speech in the capital, Tbilisi.

It was found 30m (100 feet) from the stage in Freedom Square.

Georgian officials had said earlier that the grenade was inactive and had posed no danger to Mr Bush or others.

Speaking in Tbilisi, Mr Paarmann said the grenade, wrapped in a dark handkerchief when it was thrown, had "simply failed to function".

Why not? Having him dead would have saved tens of thousands of lives. He is a menace.

If the US President were assassinated by a terrorist, a few countries would be invaded and regime-changed as a result. Then how many people would die.

Are you the spokesman for the kinder and gentler left??

With what? The Americans are having their ass handed to them in Iraq, and deservedly so. That is what happens when you launch wars based on lies and kills tens of thousands of people.

There is an article in the NY Times where the American generals have retracted earlier optimistic estimates of troop drawdowns and they expect to maintain these troop levels in Iraq for years.

One man dead would make the world a lot safer place. His life is no more valuable than the people he sends in to fight or the Iraqis that have been killed.
