   The choice was “yes” or “no” on Bashar al-Assad being the President again. So 3% voted “NO”. Or … well … at least that’s what the election commission says.

   Wow, you really should get your facts straight.

   The real number: 99.999999% Seriously

   The announced: 97%

   Why?

   So in the next TV rundown when someone accuse Syria of not having democracy, they’ll shove that 97% number up …….

   Eh Laaaaakan! It’s not like Syrians in Jordan are being brought in one by one by their embassy to make them “vote”, they even got buses to take them to the embassy to vote. Like anyone dares to vote No!

    @Firas

    i hear kind of that , but am not sure its true guess why?

    i didn’t know about the whole thing , i just know there’s a vote

    met my friends Monday they ask
    hey dude did u vote?
    am like ha , when ? i thought its in Jan ,

    so Syrian out of Syria if they didn’t watch the news , they will never know when and where to vote …

    Qabbani: That’s why the embassy has been asking Syrians to spread the word by mouth….so my suggestion would be : Hang out more with your Syrian friends

    Anyways, if you ever got questioned, just tell them you were high or something….

    1- Yes
    2- No
    3- Please kill me and torture my family.
