I just picked up from Weasel Zippers <\/a>a story that Code Pink has succeeded in running the Marines out of Berkeley. WZ cites sources here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After a year of protesting the military recruitment office in Berkeley, CodePINK has won its battle: operations at the Marine Recruiting Station have ceased.<\/strong>Celebrate this accomplishment at CodePINK’s one-year “End Recruiting” commemoration, where you can hear testimonies from the peace activists who drove the recruiters out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

CodePINK and our allies have prevailed!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Major protest operations at the MRS have been ended, one year since covert military recruiting operations were first uncovered in Berkeley!<\/p>\n

Our coalition is now engaged in dis(as)sembling and deconstructing the U.S. military, making the world safe and secure!<\/span>
\n<\/strong>
\nOur city and our coalition are proud of these accomplishments!<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course the media dutifully reported this unsubstantiated press release from the clowns at Code Pink. Well, it sounded a little funny to me, so I called the recruiting station in Berkeley and talked to the young captain commanding the unit and he told me that Code Pink had held a victory celebration today outside the building (Protest Shooter<\/a> was there and has the story and the pictures) but that the Marines aren’t going any where. He said they still have a 3-year lease on the office and they’ll continue recruiting there until the lease expires.<\/p>\n

So Code Pink unilaterally declared a victory and left. Sorta like what they want us to do in Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
