[history]
President Bush stepped into the middle of a confrontation and pulled his lead Secret Service agent away from Chilean security officials who barred his bodyguards from entering an elegant dinner for 21 world leaders Saturday night.
Several Chilean and American agents got into a pushing and shoving match outside the cultural center where the dinner was held. Bush noticed the fracas after posing for pictures on a red carpet with the summit host, Chilean President Ricardo Lagos and his wife and first lady Laura Bush.

And I dare any Chiliean security scrum to put his hands on a Marine in uniform protecting the President like that.I'd like to see any footage like that! LOL
To: mdittmar
he probably pulled him aside and said,"What the hell are you doing,we're guests here."
Not likely

Nice picture--THANKS!
I'm so glad they're travelling together; I always hope it's at least a chance for them to relax a little away from Washington.

LOL Ya know, GW has a reputation in Houston of having more than his share of bar fights in his younger days, I think it may just be true.

They may not have done exactly as W did, but I imagine John Kennedy and Ronald Reagan both thought highly enough of their Secret Service detail to have done something.

Where I go, he goes. Ya got that, Pilgrim?
No wonder 61.5 million people voted for W.
To: Samwise
Remember Thanksgiving last year when he paid a surprise trip to the troops in Iraq and waded into the crowd to shake their hands and speak to them? The look on his face showed pride, respect, and love and the troops gave those things right back to him.
To: homemom
Let's hope so. But, I sure wouldn't mind seeing a bunch of uniformed Marines there with him at times like this. :-)
To: BushMeister
It will be interesting to learn the details. I suspect everywhere our President goes has a forward team in place and a good measure of redundancy.
Still, the fact that some SS were held back raises questions. Hopefully, this isn't a "probe" into the President's immediate security by the evil guys. I wonder...

Uniformed Marines . . . heck, uniforms of ANY service from the US! :-) I'd love to see he and Laura completely surrounded wherever they go -- I want them to be SAFE!!!
