Turn off the sound (it's in Albanian, I think) and concentrate on the video.

At the 49th through 52nd seconds, a watchband can be clearly seen on Bush's left wrist as he plunges into the crowd.

At about the 56th second a hand from the crowd can be seen to grasp Bush's left forearm and slide toward his wrist. Bush withdraws his left arm for a brief moment and continues to work the crowd with right. He then begins to work the crowd again with both arms. The next clear shot of his left wrist a few seconds later shows the watchband missing.

You can rapidly stop and start the video by clicking on the pause/play button with your mouse. This gives the effect of freezing the individual frames. You can pull the slider back to repeat a segment of the video.



You poor dumb ***. Bush takes his watch off and slips it into his pocket.

Bush wears a $50.00 Timex. And I'm sure he doesn't spend $400.00
on a haircut. Bush isn't a phony...........pretty boy edwards is a
superficial, pompous ass.

The fact that Edwards is a superficial, pompous ass in no dimishes the fact that Bush is a superficial, arrogant doofus who lost his watch to a pickpocket as he basked in the adulation of the Albanian masses.

And no, Bush didn't put it in his pocket. You can see the hand that slid the watch off his wrist snatch it away. I downloaded the .flv file of the video and converted it to a .wmv file so it could be slowed down. Whoever did it was a pro. For a brief second after the watch was snatched away, Bush can be seen pulling his left arm out of the crowd, holding someone's hand up with his right hand and looking down at the ground. He then pulls back from the crowd briefly before wading in again sans watch. At no time between when his watch was last seen and when his left wrist was visible without the watch did his right hand approach his left. It all happened very quickly.
