A recent poll carried out by France’s Le Figaro newspaper has indicated that at least 72 percent of respondents want Syrian President Bashar Assad to remain in power.

The survey, published on Thursday, asked: “Should world powers demand Bashar Assad to leave?” At least 28 percent from 21,314 respondents have voted “Yes” so far, while the majority – 72 percent – have said “No”.

70% of who?
French people?
Why do they get a say. Let Syrians work it out.

But who did they ask? Syrians? The French?

The poll question and the headline don’t jibe. Saying I do not want the world’s powers to demand Assad be removed is NOT THE SAME THING as saying I want him to remain in power.

We should put a wall around Syria and take it down where there is a winner. That way, no refugees

Back story: Assad loves cheese.

I looked at this too quickly and should not have posted it. I checked the underlying source only afterwards and it is apparently only an on-line poll of LeFigaro readers, and as such isn’t worth much.

Apologies.

Looks like Assad, barrel bombs and all, has better numbers than Obama.
