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

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."

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.

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!!

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:

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.

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?
