You're working a flame war on me (Chilean apologist, Didn't see danger in Iraq, etc.) and flame wars are boring on the forum. What is your problem?
"Chilean security knew that the Secret Service always accompanies the president and knows how to identify them by the pins on their lapels, the source said, but blocked them anyway. "
You're so cute.
"What is your problem?
Here, I'll try to sum it up:

"Of course I do, but you, I and every other keyboard expert do not have the FIRST CLUE about the situational security scenario in that area at that time. But, if you look, now the thread is turning bitter that Bush is traveling, that his SS detail failed etc. It's just like clockwork here."

"One thing to remember is that the First couple were inside that foyer with Chilean President Lagos and his wife. The Chilean guys were protecting THEIR Prez from assasination too. It was a miscommunication. W saw the altercation, went over to the group and said "they're with me" ... end of altercation. This storyline unfolds every night in the doorways of trendy nightclubs. ;^)"

"I just hooked up my backup computer and watched the video. If the guys were hellbent on violence against President Bush, they could have taken him right when he walked through the door. I'm chalking it up to miscommunication between two hyper-sensitive security details. I can't even imagine the pressure of holding, and attending, an economic summit like that with all those anarchist freaks poised for trouble."

"President Bush was reaching over the backs of the Chileans. They didn't know it was him. The woman in the red with the pigtail is another SS manager (I saw her at the debates) and she got in and defused the situation right before Bush got there. It wasn't anything ominous to me. It looked like one of those hockey scrums where all ten skaters converge as one to any confrontation before things get hashed out. No harm, no foul IMO. Regards."
I've rather enjoyed your happy-go-lucky viewpoint, but ALL OF A SUDDEN COMES THE DREADED THREAT!

"LOL. I am, however, worried about a visit to Columbia. They are excellent allies, but the lawless cartels and their Venezualen cohorts are still concerning."
And you said that after worrying about people doing that exact same thing earlier. I'm sorry Barlow, but you seem to be a cartoon.
It's a circular argurment, Barlow.
