are there any video's of our beloved President kicking some butt?? I've only seen still photo's. Thanks
Were the Chileans arrogant? Maybe this is a sign of extremely high security there.
WOW....That's why people elected bush. He's a real man that know's how to get things done, even if he has to get his own hands dirty. I wonder what the french poodle jean-francois kerry would have done? Called the UN?
In an extraordinary display of physical bravado, President Bush personally overrode Chilean security officials Saturday night who were blocking his Secret Service bodyguards from accompanying him to a state dinner in Santiago.
As Bush stepped inside the cultural center where the dinner was held, Chilean agents closed ranks at the door, blocking the president's agents from following, according to the Associated Press.
While posing inside for pictures with Chilean President Ricardo Lagos and his wife, Luisa Duran, Bush noticed that a shoving match had erupted between his security team and the Chilean guards.
Confronting the Chilean guards head-on, Bush returned to the door and reached through group to pull his agent from the scrum and into the building.
Looking annoyed, Bush proceeded to straighten his shirt cuffs and returned to the dinner.
"Chilean security tried to stop the president's Secret Service from accompanying him," White House deputy press secretary Claire Buchan told the AP. "He told them they were with him and the issue was resolved."
The presidential altercation was widely broadcast on Chilean TV.
Bush was in Chile for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.
I LOVE 'W'
HOWEVER, to make it sound like he rode on his white horse and rescued a damsel in distress is FOOLISH.
He just pulled the Chilean Agent to get his attention, who was NOT stopping the American Agent because he is arrogant, but because in South-America, an American President is always in 'more' danger than any other place (except for middle east), and especially for an un-popular President, that risk even goes higher and every one is anxious.
That guy was simply doing his job.
BTTT
I love the Chileans, but these guys were a--holes.
Bush is my hero.

The only way this could have been anymore embarrassing, is if this turned into what happened in the basketball game the other night.
This is like something that would happen at a drug dealers convention.
Is there no planning that goes into these events for the leader of the free world? Or does everyone just show up?
LOL!
I saw the photo(s) of the incident and I saw the eyes of one of the Chilean police officer eyes on the aol picture , and he seem to me to have assassin eyes.
I think deep inside that this event was a assassination attempt. Taking the S.S. out and away from our President would of left him alone and open.
This is what I feel. I think it would be a good idea to get out of Chile as soon as possible. I have a bad feeling about this.
Some twit on CNN was claiming that Bush had to "plead" for his agent to be released.
What a guy.
Please. This was not an 'extraordinary display of physical bravado'.
leave it to newsmax to understate. before you flame, please see my other posts on the original threads.
