Why No Mention Of Georgia Head Saying Grenade Story Was A Lie?

[FinallyStartingToWin]

While browsing a news channel earlier I heard a quick snippet on CNN saying the head of Georgia SS or some other head (can't remember) said the grenade story was a complete lie.

I haven't heard more on this and haven't seen it mentioned yet on DU, though it can be very likely that I missed it. Anyone have any more info?

2. Just heard a snippet

on Npr, Georgian government said it never happened.

3. Of frigging course it didn't happen. None of the stuff that they claim

'almost' happens to pResident Unelected ever does.

7. why do it tho? Sympathy? To put a scare into the "faithful?"

No doubt it was a lie - it read just like a bushlie.

But what is the upside for him?

4. Yahoo link now up

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/bush_grenade

"Georgian Interior Ministry spokesman Guram Donadze at first said no grenade was thrown close to Bush, calling it a lie, but later said the secretary of Georgia's National Security Council, Gela Bezhuashvili, would make an announcement about the reports Wednesday."

9. By the time Wednesday rolls around,

it will not be a lie, and it will be a whopper! (does that even make sense?)

13. Thanks for the link

Hopefully tomorrow we'll know more then about why they are saying it was a lie, but others saying it wasn't?

6. AHA!!!

A lie. What a surprise.

8. Don't you understand that it DOES NOT MATTER whether the

story is phony? The faith-based folks have heard it, reality has been altered to *'s advantage and once it is repeated five times there is no way to get it out of their thick, born-again skulls? This is Rovian to the max.

Clinton should have done something like this, claimed that Monica was an enemy agent sent to bite off his pecker and that he narrowly escaped bleeding to death.

10. There's got to be some way to bring that approval rating up.......n/t

11. Someone mentioned something about it on Yahoo

That place is such a zoo you never know whether to take it seriously.

12. BBC says it was a "possible hand grenade"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4535187.stm

So, what we are being led to believe is someone threw something (probably a soda can, piece of paper etc) and we are being told that it was a "bomb" and the chimp's life was in "danger". HAH!!

14. WB17 (Philly station)

just said that it has been reported to be a lie and our honest, fair and just government is looking into it.

15. Nothing like that at BSGOP. Here's their story.

16. What Are You Talking About? It's In Your Own Link! LOL

From your link:

"Guram Donadze, spokesman for the Georgian Interior Ministry, said no hand grenade was thrown close to Bush. “This is an absolute lie. This did not occur,” Donadze told The Associated Press. "


:hi:

17. It's got the quote :

***
Georgian government denies incident
Guram Donadze, spokesman for the Georgian Interior Ministry, said no hand grenade was thrown close to Bush. “This is an absolute lie. This did not occur,” Donadze told The Associated Press.

18. Did you bush doing the pansy dance, they had to have something

to distract from that.

19. Have they already done revisionist history?

I read both links and neither had the denial - or I need my eyes checked. The last one also claimed security was very tight, but I posted a quote on another thread and it said they did metal detectors on the first people but then quickly gave up! I swear they have already gotten to the media.

Are the quotes still there? Do I need glasses?
