Besides 5% of all news coverage is quite a bit already.

I said no more than 5% of the major news coverage. I'd be willing to guess less than 1 minute per hour overall spent on Syria.

I guess you haven't been watching much CNN lately.

I was, and during the two hours in question, it was Iran, Afghanistan FAR more than the little bit about Syria. I'll stand by what I said, Syria is not a primary US media concern. Sure, it is on the news, it is news whenever folks are dying in droves, but I really don't think the US populace gives much of a shit about the place.

My my....Here's what you lib's would a said back in the day...."Hell no we're not interested...there's no oil for the Republicans".....

Syria DOES have oil Pukfart, One thing I did notice the other day...with a background narration of how mr big bad opressor was killing innocents, happened to notice that the footage was showing 2 burnt out amoured personel carriers (russian BMPs by the look of what remained) in the street (nothing was said about them)

I suppose the armoured vehicles must have belonged to the opressed protesters as they couldnt have been Syrian army vehicles blown up by those nice protestor guys now could they?..no no

Anyone that believes the shit they hear on TV (from either side of the left/right jerkoff circle) deserves to spend far too much of their time here talking about it....oh yea, you allready do

Here ya go Ky-rusty.....Obama's deficit spending per day, is greater than Syria's oil production annually...hurts, don't it...

"Syria is a relatively small oil producer, accounting for just 0.5 percent of the global production in 2010. Although Syria is not a major oil exporter by Middle Eastern standards, oil is a major pillar of the economy. According to the International Monetary Fund, oil sales for 2010 were projected to generate $3.2 billion for the Syrian government and account for 25.1% of the state's revenue."

It's like the protest in Homs, which supposedly brought 500000 protesters. Homs + sububrs = 400000 persons

BTW the first french journalist who has been killed by a RPG... WAS IMBEDDED IN A SYRIAN REGULAR ARMY UNIT!

Howdy Nic....
It's sort of like this?
There are two words used by liberal and conservative folks.
One is the preferred liberal word....Shit.
One is the preferred conservative word....Fact.
Often times the words are "mixed" and something crusty, is the result.
