P resident Bush created a bit of a stir Wednesday when he inexplicably walked out in the middle of an important U.N. Security Council meeting on terrorism, right in the middle of a speech by the leader of Benin.

Delegates thought it was another example of American arrogance -- U.S. officials are notorious for leaving meetings in mid-session, especially at the General Assembly. Russia's Vladimir Putin , Britain's Tony Blair and China's Hu Jintao sat patiently through the less-than-riveting address.

But it appears that Bush meant no insult, judging from a note he handed to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice shortly before he left.

Bush, after waiting while a member of his security detail swept a nearby bathroom, used the facilities and return to the meeting a few minutes later.
