While President Obama moves closer to deciding whether or not the US will “officially” provide the Syrian rebels with lethal military aid above and beyond the “unofficial” lethal aid the CIA is already providing, an interesting news development regarding the Syrian people’s opinion about their full-on civil war didn’t seem to make the mainstream American press.
Brace yourselves – 70% of Syrians surveyed by Western-sponsored relief organizations support the Bashar al-Assad regime.
