Two protesters interrupted Vice President Dick Cheney during a speech at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Dallas on Friday. At the same time, demonstrators gathered outside of the hotel to protest the war in Iraq.

One woman wearing a shirt that read "Bring our Troops Home Now" yelled: "Out of Iraq now! Don't attack Iran."

Security escorted her out.

Minutes later, another protester stood up, waving an extended index finger at Cheney, objecting to any potential attack on Iran. He also was led out.

Outside the hotel, about 50 protesters, some donning costumes, shouted criticisms of the war and the Bush administration.

They also held signs listing troop death levels and calling for impeachment. One protester was dressed as Darth Vader, a reference to Cheney’s supposed resemblance to the movie character.

"We're out here to protest Vice President Cheney's imperial delusions," protester John Fullwinder said.
