      Fog of war. All information about the war is provisional at this point. The full truth will come out eventually. In the meantime, I can at least believe that the BBC saw what they say they saw. If the footage itself was faked, we will find out at some point.

          Yes, that’s true, did you read my comment?

          Also, I hate to break it to you, but the vast majority of news is hearsay. Only relatively few things are ever subjected to the level of scrutiny required by western courts of law.

            you’ll forgive me if i don’t believe state-produced media parroting state-produced videos. “fog of war” and all.

              Fair enough, we all have to make our own judgments about sources.
