Berkeley Rethinking Calling the Marines "Unwelcome Intruders"....

Talk about bogus insincerity, go fark yourselves...

(02-04) 18:52 PST Berkeley — A week after blasting the Marines as "unwelcome intruders" in Berkeley, two city council members want the city to back off the declaration that ignited the wrath of the nation's right wing and inspired a Republican senator to try to sever Berkeley's federal funding.

Council members Betty Olds and Laurie Capitelli proposed today that Berkeley rescind its letter to the U.S. Marine Corps that stated that the downtown Berkeley recruiting center "is not welcome in our city," and publicly declare that Berkeley is against the war but supports the troops. The city council will vote on Olds' and Capitelli's two proposals at its Feb. 12 meeting.

"I think we shouldn't be seen across the country as hating the Marines," said Olds, who voted against last week's proposals. "If you make a mistake, like we did, you should admit it and correct it and move on."

I guess the money meant more than their principles. LOL

Why is that city still in the hands of the lunatics? The Marines really need to practice their techniques in capturing enemy cities right there.
