Are you sure about this?????

I thought the protestors were still asking for more recounts in Broward and Dade County.

Protesters, some holding signs that said "No Blood for Oil," blamed Cheney ...

Is Vice President Cheney violating agreements he made with the UN to not develop WMDs?

"No Blood for Oil,"

No one is planning to. I think we're planning to trade some tomahawks, some cluster bombs, and maybe a daisy cutter or two for Iraqi oil.

Was Al Bore leading them. Bet there is a rat involved.

There's a certain core of people - these protestors make up most of them - who aren't happy unless they're bitchin' and moanin' about something. Average age = ~22.

Wait until they graduate and get a mortgage, a spouse, and some kids. Most of 'em will come around, only to be replaced by the next generation of angst-ridden miscreants.

afterwards they hailed a taxi,took a flight home and had mom pick them up at the airport in her SUV,dats right they don't need no stinking oil.

"The main purpose for most of these demonstrations..is really to have a social event.

How do I know? I used to be one of 'em.

[Dog Gone]

"It's been a highly successful couple of days," said David Levy, who was the only protest organizer to show up for a Sunday morning news conference to evaluate the demonstrations.

Sure.

"No Blood for Oil,"
I could never understand that chant. The oil companies are doing fine right now, and they'll do fine whether or not Saddam is in power.
If Saddam is out of power that can only cut the price of oil as a) there will be a more open supply of it and b) stability in the region will increase. How does that help Big Oil? Granted they won't be paying a fear premium to get out of the area, so their costs will go down but so will the consumer's.
A better chant would be "No Blood for Cheaper Heating Oil for Poor People!"

drawing attention to those seeking more money for global AIDS research

Remind me: WHY do we have an "AIDS office" in the White House.

"It's been a highly successful couple of days," said David Levy, who was the only protest organizer to show up for a Sunday morning news conference to evaluate the demonstrations.

Oh yeah, big success. Lotta great strides forward were made this weekend by a group of green-haired, dirty underwear clad, orfice-pierced anarchists.

"No Blood for Oil"

OK, help me here. There is gazillion of barrels of Iraqi oil that can't be sold because of trade embargos. Currently all that can be sold legally is the UN permitted pittance of oil for food and medecine.

We kick Saddams ass out of Iraq and they return to full production, putting more oil on the international market. Who's the loser here? The big oil companies by my reckoning as they see smaller profits.

What problem do these drop-outs have with that. I say drop-outs since they don't seem to have an education.

[Musket]

If they were in any--take your pick-- mid-eastern country they would all be experiencing this right now.

[Defender2]

Hey protesters, Get A Job!!!!

[navygal]

Hey protestors use another slogan, the blood for oil was used in the last war!

[joyful1]

Where are we Freepers when you need them?? I'd loved to have been there to freep those bean-brained, dangerous-minded traitors.

[Fighting Irish]

I'm so sick of these rich-kid malcontents that cannot find their own culture so they have to go rip off ours (those of us that grew up during the volatile 60's).

Go home children! Chase whale hunters or plug in your Play Stations. Leave the resolution of this conflict to those that work for a living.
