Heckler challenges Bush on Iraq

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- A heckler demanding immediate withdrawal from Iraq interrupted U.S. President George Bush's speech on renewable energy Thursday in St. Louis.

The president ignored the woman's shouts of "Out of Iraq now. Oil is not renewable."

As police surrounded the woman and led her from her seat about 10 rows back from the stage in the America's Center auditorium, she yelled, "What are you doing? We're killing people! Soldiers are not renewable!" the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

Bush in his speech focused on ethanol and hydrogen power as substitutes for oil. He said that renewable energy sources are needed because supplies of oil are limited, for environmental reasons and for national security.

"We get oil from some countries that don't particularly care for us," he said.
