Does someone call that ?eyes on the ground??
It?s vague to just say one does not believe the news coming out of Syria.
When the people in the town say ?Yes the bombs are falling at night? and the 
newspapers say the opposite I believe the people in the town. 
Especially when the newspapers are controlled by the idiot who is dropping 
those bombs.

    Thanks, Frank.  My comments were based on what the people I met in Syria
    told me.  They are the ones who have chosen to stay and fight for their
    country so their opinions might be biased but they believe them strongly.
