Georgian Would-Be Assassin Details Grenade Attack on Bush

Vladimir Arutyunyan, accused of throwing a grenade at U.S. President George Bush, has described his assassination attempt.


During a conversation with the head of the Georgian police press center, Guram Donadze, who was quoted by Izvestia newspaper, Arutyunyan apparently said: “I will tell you why I did it. Because Bush is a prick!”


Arutyunyan, who is being held in custody before his trial, said he threw the grenade over his head “like a lob in basketball so that pieces would fly over the armored glass.”

The grenade attack took place on May 10 during Bush’s speech in the center of the Georgian capital of Tbilisi. The grenade hit a girl’s head and did not go off. Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili, who was also on the podium when Bush spoke, raised the prospect that the grenade could have been directed at him.

1. Donadze got that right about Bush
being a prick. Georgian president thought maybe the grenade was directed at him? He must be well loved.

3. Let's watch ourselves here
The last thing we want is for freepers to have any ammo against us.

That being said, while I don't agree with the guy's actions, I definitely agree with him that Bush is a prick!
