Narrative:
Cleared to land by tower. Previous aircraft that landed is having to taxi off the runway. Problems (ie; lost). Tower cleared another aircraft into position and hold. Tower told us to go around. We executed the go around and captain immediately declared minimum fuel. Tower acknowledged and gave climb out instructions. We were switched to approach and checked in with a minimum fuel call. Approach extended our downwind for sequence behind a B767. As we were on final; the captain briefed me that she did not want tower to put any aircraft on the runway for departure prior to our landing; thus creating a repeat of the previous go around and would declare emergency fuel if necessary. When check in with tower for landing clearance; the captain briefed tower regarding this point. Tower still cleared an aircraft into position prior to our imminent landing. The captain then declared emergency fuel and tower said; 'if you have a problem with this; call my supervisor; have a nice day.' we landed.
