Obama Blames Rebels Under Putin's 'Control' for MH17 'Outrage of unspeakable proportions' but won't impose more sanctions until investigation takes place

By DAVID MARTOSKO 18 July 2014

Barack Obama announced Friday that the rebels believed to be behind the rocket attack on a Malaysian Airlines jetliner in eastern Ukraine have had 'a steady stream of support from Russia,' but stopped short of calling for an immediate pushback against Moscow.

The U.S. president's brief but substantial comments about deaths that he called 'an outrage of unspeakable proportions' came 24 hours after he coolly inserted a 40-second statement about the plane crash into a 16-minute oration about domestic transportation policy, drawing gasps and guffaws from Americans.

'This certainly will be a wake-up call for Europe and the world that there are consequences to escalating a regional conflict in the Ukraine,' he said in the White House press briefing room on Friday, cautioning that it's not yet completely clear 'what individuals, or groups of individuals ordered the strike.'

But 'it is not possible for these separatists to function the way they're functioning' without Moscow's involvement, he insisted.

'A group of separatists can't shoot down military transport planes ... without sophisticated training and sophisticated equipment. And that is coming from Russia.'

Shut up Barry! You’re going to make the world not “love” us anymore!

So he is going to wait for the results of an investigation that will reach no conclusion 2 years from now. With the perp controlling the evidence and Russia with the back boxes..this thing will go nowhere. The RATS probably are already hitting up the trial lawyers for a piece of the settlement against Boeing and Malaysian airlines.

‘Obama Blames Rebels Under Putin’s ‘Control’ for MH17 ‘Outrage of unspeakable proportions’ ‘

I am outraged about the Fed sponsored invasion of our own country, my sincere outrage trumps his phony outrage all day long.

Wish he had the good grace to shut the hell up.

Putin first found out about the plane being shot down when he read about it in the newspaper.

So he is going to wait for the results of an investigation ...

You are right. We shouldn't wait until we actually know what happened. We should fly off the handle and take sides in a deep conflict, between 2 groups that are known to be highly deceptive, on the basis of evidence that is laughably flimsy, unintended consequences be damned. What could possibly go wrong?

Investigate obummer. How is Putin supplying the separatist rebels any different then obummer supplying the Syrian separatist/rebels? obummer should be held responsible by the international community for supplying the muslim brotherhood/al Qaeda terrorist with financial and military arms support.
