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.

We had everyone but Eric here........but when I saw the President appear before that roaring crowd of soldiers, I cried like a baby.

I did too!!! I'm so glad I wasn't the only one!!! :-)

MY........how this year will be better than last for us! But what a great moment that was for us all!

Yes, for me too! I have just been revelling in true *thanksgiving* because this year I will be with *that* kid and family for Thanksgiving and then with the other daughter and her husband for Christmas. My life has truly turned around in that! :-)

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

This man has his priorities straight!

They are using the upside down flag to 1) be provocative 2) to express their hatred of America and 3) to make it plain to all that they have no respect for the flag or what it represents.

I think this is bigger than just THAT SS agent. Look thru the pics on Drudge, and you'll see that the ENTIRE SS security detail was kept out. Scary s**t.

Don't start no shite, won't be no shite.

U.S. President George W. Bush (2L) reaches out to retrieve one of his secret service agents that was stopped by Chilean police from following him into the Estacion Mapocho cultural center for the state dinner at the APEC leaders meeting, in Santiago, November 20, 2004. President Bush himself returned to the door to make sure one of his agents was allowed to enter the building, after he noticed the commotion from inside. REUTERS/str

I heard W took his jacket off, just in case he needed to fight.

Maybe not, but he could have.
