    No one's talking about Syria?

    Any speculation as to why?

      They don't have anything of value to us. Or to US. However they want to spin it. It's one of those places it will be less expensive to let it blow itself apart.

        Because no news is leaving the country. Security forces have been firing at civilians leaving their houses, snipers are stationed on rooftops, armored vehicles roll through the streets. Check Al-Jazeera, i've been getting all my news from them recently. I'm sure we'd be hearing much more about it though if Syria were part of OPEC.

          I think one of the biggest reasons is the ongoing fighting in Libya taking most of the spotlight, and the fact that Syria has very tight rules on journalists and what is allowed to be disseminated outside the country. It's both a lack of info and a lack of coverage. That being said, it's no less important than any other country. I've heard Obama has been working with their president to organize a peaceful step-down from power, but unlike other revolutions in the area the military and police seem to be firmly on the side of the ruling party; no defections makes it much harder for protests to be successful.

            What's there to talk about. It's another country that wants absolute and utter control of it's citizens. Killing them to get the point across. Just like so many other countries.

              Clearly the royal wedding is more important.

                    The fact is, Lybia is an easy target for the piece of shit called "president"...Gaddafi is a loaner, and no one's backing him up.

                    Syria on the other hand, if Barak bin Obama goes out for them, then they're messing with the whole block, Iran, the Hezbollah fuckers, etc....

                    The fact is Obama is just a plain confused and opportunistic waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles.
