SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Police arrested more than 100 Iraq war protesters in San Francisco and New York City on Monday as the nation marked the fourth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

Uniformed police outnumbered the fewer than 100 protesters outside the stock exchange building at the corner of Broad and Wall streets in New York's historic financial district.

"Stop the money, stop the war," demonstrators chanted as police hauled away limp-bodied protesters.

A police spokesman said 44 were arrested.

Demonstrators said they were directing their protest at major defense contractors Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Halliburton, General Electric and others. The protest had no impact on the stock exchange's trading.

"U.S. service members and Iraqi civilians are dying so that an elite few can profit," said Fabian Bouthillette, 26, a high school teacher who served for two years in the U.S. Navy.

In San Francisco, dozens of demonstrators, many of them old enough to have once protested the Vietnam War in the 1960s and early 1970s, conducted a "Die In" by lying on the sidewalk and pretending to be dead. Some wore fake blood to recall the more than 3,200 U.S. military personnel killed in the Iraq War.

Many later moved to obstruct Market Street, running through the city's central business district.

"As soon as they went out there we started making arrests," police spokesman Neville Gittens said. "They were warned."

Another spokesman said police arrested 57 people in two separate San Francisco locations.

Polls show most Americans now oppose the war in Iraq, yet without a military draft like that which helped focus public opposition to the Vietnam War, public protests have been far smaller than they were in that era.

Thousands have, however, rallied against the war in recent days nationwide, including in the Washington D.C. area, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

I was so p.o'd at cspan for showing thed moonbats that I wrote the following email to them.

To Whom.......,

I wanted to take the time to thank you for exposing the left-loonies. In the words of the famous and lefty loonie, Cindy Sheehan, it was 'bullshit'

Maybe you can have a program or announcement describing the news value of the demonstration. And, can you in any honesty say the comments by the speakers were factual? And to think they were proud to be carried by Al Jazeera. Boggles the mind. Have you given any consideration to how the 'insurgents' in Iraq and environs read the demonstration? How many more troops will have to pay the ultimate price for those morons at the demonstration and those that covered it?

Fortunately the Saturday afternoon programming probably resulted in a very small viewership here in the States. Again, thank you for the programming and keep exposing the left for what they are.

Article 15 Discharge. That's what it is in the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

I saw people get kicked out of the AF for doing really stupid crap that got people worked up at them. Use your imagination. (I just didn't get caught!!)

Personal Information

Fabian was born in Washington, D.C. and raised in Arlington, VA.  Although not from a military family, his childhood proximity to the Pentagon certainly influenced his life.  Fabian graduated from the United States Naval Academy in May 2003 with a Bachelor of Science in English.  After graduation, he was temporarily assigned to the Naval Academy as a navigation and seamanship instructor, an experience that sparked his desire to teach.  He then served as Auxiliaries and Electrical Officer aboard USS CURTIS WILBUR, a destroyer based in Yokosuka, Japan.  Fabian loved his time in Japan and became accustomed to a fast paced lifestyle while living near Tokyo.  For this reason he decided to move in with a friend in New York City after separating from the Navy in 2005.  He is excited to have landed at Dwight and looks forward to bringing his leadership experiences to the classroom and the soccer pitch.

Apparently he works or volunteers as an agitator/seditionist for something called The Military Project.

The sweet little group, The Military Project, publishes a newsletter called G.I. Special. They urge lefties to get addresses of military members so they can distribute this "Tokyo Rose" broadsheet as widely as possible.
