Syria says has pulled most assets from Arab states
2011-11-29
[Al Ahram] Syria has withdrawn almost all of its assets from Arab countries, Foreign Minister Walid Muallem said Monday, a day after the Arab League
...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing...
 slapped sanctions on Damascus
...Capital of the last overtly fascist regime in the world...
 for its refusal to halt a protest crackdown. "I reassure you that we have withdrawn 95 or 96 per cent of Syrian assets (from Arab countries)," Muallem told a news conference. "We must protect the interests of our people."
A teensy question that must now be niggling at non-Syrian Arab minds, not to mention the rest of us: 95% of what number leaves how many Syrian assets doing what kind of mischief?

#3  "we have withdrawn 95 or 96 per cent of Syrian assets (from Arab countries)"

And put them where, exactly? Under the mattress? In Pencilneck's back pocket?

I'm sure there's not much no truth to the rumor that Syria has invested with the Juices (who we all know are great money managers).
