YouTube - Students Protest at General Petraeus Address (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Rc5rAoAoTM&feature=player_embedded)

The "USA USA USA" chanting almost made me vomit at @1:00

These students are awesome!

Nvm some speech there was retarded and emotional. Social justice? Continuously bringing up the university in some kind of reverence? Gah.

Don't these students realize that Nobel Peace Prize winner Obama is president now? There's no need to protest the wars anymore.

(Good for them)

Agreed.

Although I don't necessarily agree with the tactic, that was encouraging.

So many strategically placed students, never seen protests timed like this.

EDIT:
Following the youtube link, came across this another student interruptions at UC Irvine today of Israeli ambassodor. 11 students arrested there, lot of agitation. What are the chances of such similar protests on same day:
