Syria's population is about 3x that of Libya's population

of course it is, but forgive me for not believing that's what our current vp meant, based on his history of gaffe's, of course.

i think his lie/contradiction of his own administration's testimony before congress regarding our intelligence about libya will be as bad of a take away for him as ryan's painful abortion reply. the guy just can't help saying stupid shit, just like W.

One of my ex girlfriends used this logic against me. It was a free pass to invalidate anything I said, actually.

In March of last year, President Obama explained the military action taken in Libya by saying it was in the national interest to go in and prevent further massacres from occurring there. So why doesn’t the same logic apply in Syria? Vice President Biden. VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: It’s a different country. It’s a different country. It is five times as large geographically. It has one-fifth the population that is Libya, one-fifth the population, five times as large geographically. "

He said Libya is bigger

Biden was on the senate committee for foreign relations and has been heavily involved with Libya considering he got an activist in Libya freed in 2004. Just because you saw this gaffe on Breitbart doesn't mean it's a gaffe

Want to know why we haven't invaded Syria?
Look at the Air Defense Systems of what Libya had Vs. what Syria has.
That's why.

one campaign changes their policies willy-nilly to appease whoever they're talking to at the moment, and you're giving the other campaign a hard time b/c they said 1/5 when 1/3 is more accurate?

10/15/2012 12:17:52 PM

^lies and doublespeak have existed in both campaigns. stop kidding yourself.

10/15/2012 12:21:39 PM

that's absolutely true, but i think in this case one side is objectively more egregious than the other.

just look at all of the traditionally right media sources that are supporting obama.
