A Hero’s Welcome: A Heroic Heist**

Watch this video and pay close attention to Bush’s left wrist before and after the 56 second mark in the video.

It has gotten some light media attention here, and here.

**Update: Mixed sources (including the White House) are claiming that the watch either fell off Bush’s wrist and was picked up by a Secret Service agent (I don’t see that in the video) or that Bush himself removed it and placed it in his pocket (doesn’t look that that happened in the video either). According to BBC Radio this morning, the Albanian’s where quite frank in acknowledging the possibility of theft, but perhaps such a brazen act done in the close presence of more than a half dozen highly trained security agents is more than the White House wants to admit, not to mention the ding it puts in the best political fodder Bush has given the News in…. a long time.
