sorry to be nit-picky, but that isn't Bush's hand. its the guy with glasses, to the left of Bush. Bush's hand is in the scrum, but its down lower grabbing a hold of his SS agent.

Its still hard for me to believe that the Chileans are so badly organized that the President of the United States had to personally intervene in order to get his Secret Service personnel into the hall.

I love these pictures and what they represent. Just walked over and took charge. I love a "can do" kind of man.

Have you looked at this photo uncropped? Note the gun on the hip of the Chilean in front (both arms apparently engaged holding back an American agent). The President a few feet away, at top right. AmericanInTokyo wrote, "THIS to me was the most disturbing photo I have seen in a long time. For the obvious reasons."

As another poster wrote, "I can't think of another instance in modern history that a President personally went against armed foreign nationals."

Yes, I noticed the gun on that gent's hip over the weekend. Actually, there's no telling how many unseen guns were within a few feet of our President at that moment. Disturbing indeed!

Contrast this image of W supporting his Secret Service guys, with Kerry swearing at his SS body guard when he tripped himself skiing. Who's got the right stuff and who's just full of stuff?

I'd like to put in my order right now for one of those. C.O.D is not a problem.

First of all..............he's the President of the U.S., why would the Chileans not let his S.S. person in? Come on, I would supose all world leaders would be allowed that security. I would expect Chirac, Blaire, any of them to have their own security as well. I think it showed a lot of boldness by GW to approach that huddle, who knows what could have happened. I pray daily that the Lord will protect him and Laura, and VP Cheney and Lynn. I think we should all do so.

The secret service agent in question is the president's personal bodyguard.

The unholy alliance of the Christian Democrats and the Social Democrats only exists because they have convinced the younger generation that Pinochet was a Fascist and anyone who supports the Right is equivalent to Hitler, Mussolini and the Big Bad Wolf combined.

Its a miracle that the the Chilean economy is strong enough the survive such incompetance.

You're absolutely correct. I can see that clearly now in the 9th picture anonymoussierra posted at #26 above. Thank you both.
