    Well, even if it had gone off, Bush would have had to have extremely bad luck to have even received so much as a scratch from a grenade exploding 100 feet away (not to mention that it was supposedly in the middle of a crowd of people who would have absorbed all of the blast/schrapnel).

    Interesting ... I remember that when GWB visited our neighbourhood here in Germany I made a thread about the absurd security measures that were taken (e.g., closing down whole highways, making people stay at home in a whole quarter of the city of Mainz, sealing manhole covers in the city).

    At that time some people argued that this was "normal" procedure for such visits.
    Only a day later GWB went to Slovakia to take a bath in the crowd.

    Now, in Georgia it seems again that security measures were not that harsh.

    Of course the difference in the latter two cases is that GWB could expect the crowds to cheer for him while during his visit in Mainz the crowd most likely would have been less welcoming.

    So - lesson learned: The security of GWB's ego seems to be much more worthy of protection than his physical intactness ... go figure

    lol Dave you never dissapoint.

    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.
