[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.

    "Abandoning the other three, Bush walked over to the agents, reached through the dispute and pulled his agent from the scrum."

    Kerry would have gone full throttle in the opposite direction, returned when the fracas was finished, then put himself in for a Bronze Star and Purple Heart.

    I checked the Fox News site, but there isn't anything up yet. Hopefully they'll show it again!

    I think Mel Gibson could do a great George W. Bush movie 
Of course he should star in it. Wonder if he's thought of that yet.

    The President was a business man first,he probably pulled him aside and said,"What the hell are you doing,we're guests here."
