During the Vice Presidential debate on Thursday night, Joe Biden claimed, incorrectly, that that Team Obama is turning a blind eye towards Syria because – compared to Libya — it “is a different country, it is five times as large geographically, it has one fifth the population”.
Ordinarily, we’d give him a pass (yeah, right), but Biden claims to be Mr. International and was trying to discredit Ryan’s foreign policy knowledge.
Turns out –- according to Google –that Syria is about 1/10th the size of Libya with over 3 times the population.
Oops.
Thanks to AG-C for feeding the lead.
