I personally think they could be thinking on the line "You are in my country, Bush, and under our laws we are authorized toprotect you and not the US bodyguards.". This involves sovereignty and jurisdiction.

It doesn't work that way. The personal protection of the president is never left to others. The Chileans certainly have the responsibility for security, but they have no right to restrict Bush's Secret Service protection.

Sorry but you are wrong. The President is a SOVERIEGN and is NOT subject to foreign national "protection".

I don't know about you but I'm thinking this is the POTUS and your Country needs to show him proper respect or else. That's what I would think.
