Someone threw a grenade at George W. Bush and it didn't go off!

bloody slack assassins.

This isn't the first time someone screwed up trying to kill him either. There were some South Americans who tried to kill him last year. They foiled their own plot because they got his schedule mixed up and they missed their chance.

I guess have Cheney in charge is kind of scary. Isn't it?

Heh, thats probably whats kept Bush alive. Its not like anyone wants Cheney running the country. I think youd have to go through like 15 people before anyone reputable would get the chair.

Just like the guy who tried to blow up Hitler!
 
Why are you all acting like this would be a good thing. What do you think would happen to America if Bush took one for the team?

You might as well burn up the Constitution becasue we wouldn't be using it. Ever.

wow. you guys are disappointed because someone wasn't killed.

you are all fucking worthless.

that's where we are in the states I guess. Your candidate doesn't get elected so you hope the other one gets assassinated.

I'm not acting like it would be a good thing... because a good thing we be key strikes through the entire gov't at the same time.

I'm simply upset because I feel like if you attempt something... you should get it right... ;)

According to U.S. law enforcement officials, someone threw a hand grenade that landed with 100 feet of the stage where the president was speaking.

Within 100 feet? Pfft. Even if the grenade did work, I doubt it would have worked, assuming it was intended for the president. It seems more likely that someone wanted to cause a potientially violent and deadly scene while Bush was speaking, not target Bush specifically.

A Georgian security official working the crowd saw it, picked it up and took it away.

Ballsy. I don't know if would have so willingly snatched it. "Hey, a grenade! I should pick that up..."

PS - for any govenment agences that are tracking my internet movement I am NOT laughing at any attempt to cause the downfall of the Govenment of the United States of America. I am only laughing at the implied sarcasm of the poster.

Foolish assassins. Did you learn nothing?

Three shall be the number of the counting, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, and neither count thou two, excepting that thou then goest on to three. Five is RIGHT OUT. Once the number three, being the third number be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it. Amen.

Yeah seriously, I hate Bush but the last fucking thing I want to happen is have him be attacked, let alone killed. Political and public reaction to that would certainly throw this country down the wrong path even faster.

not agreeing with someone ass backwards politics is not a reason to wish that person dead.


haha what about when this persons ass backwards politics results in the deaths of thousands? Not that I agree with the attack on him or anything, but you know, politics, ass backwards or not, equate to power and direct effect on millions of lives.

Yes it is.

He should be dead.


Govenment agents who track my internet movement I note that I am clearly and resolutely condemming this comment in the strongest possible terms. I know that the only way to exact change in our fine political system is by excersing my power to vote in local, state, and national elections.

Our fine political system where the vote is hijacked, and has no paper trail.

I didn't vote, dickwad. And I was just commenting on all the news this morning at how everyone loved him there being said every 5 minutes.

This post is so retarded, I dont even know where to start. First off, not everyone said they wanted him dead. When peoples relatives are getting killed AS WE SPEEK, I think you can show some courtesy to those who have some negative feelings that cant be repressed. Next time read the actual responces before making an ignorant gerneralized accusation like we all want him dead.
 
The guy didn't actually die, no one was hurt from this, and its a president thats not well liked by half the country. So yes, this is funny, and regret that it didn't actually kill him should probably be taken as a grain of salt (except from goodcow, he seems downright serious about the whole thing).

Its just my belief that somewhere, Dick Cheney said DAMN! after hearing the news.

Tones don't register over the internet, as it's just text, but it's not as if I'm sitting here with an evil look on my face saying "He should be dead" in some demonic manner.

Do I wholly disagree with this administration? Yes.
Do I feel we'd be better off if Bush wasn't President, even if that includes him not being alive? Yes.
Would I ever actually cause, plot, or advocate harm to him? No.

You call that post "retarded", then accuse him/her of making an ignorant statement...

Says you. Some dead people in Iraq might disagree...if they weren't dead. Lucky mofo, he is. Senor Douchebag wouldn't have been missed on this end, that's for sure. PEACE.

Mass murderers and war criminals like Bush don't deserve to live. If the assassination attempt against Hitler has succeeded many people might have lived. That's all I have to say about the issue.

Define "evil". I can see many many similarities if that's what you mean.
