President Bush: He's With Me

Bush Pulls Top Bodyguard From Scuffle

---snip

Several Chilean and American agents got into a pushing and shoving match outside the cultural center where the dinner was held. The incident happened after Bush and his wife, Laura, had just posed for pictures on a red carpet with the host of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (news - web sites) summit, Chilean President Ricardo Lagos and his wife, Luisa Duran.

As Bush stepped inside, Chilean agents closed ranks at the door, blocking the president's agents from following. Stopping for more pictures, Bush noticed the fracas and turned back. He reached through the dispute and pulled his agent from the scrum and into the building.

Alia Vibe: Betcha the Chilean Guards were under strict orders: Only the big fish get into the meeting. However, President Bush made it clear that his security guards WERE big fish, and they too were going into the building.
