Too bad it didn’t crash on top of these scum!!
Note to self:
Do not fly on 17 July.
Do not fly on Malaysian Airlines.
Just in time for the Centenary of WWI—the new Lusitania.
23 Americans on board ?
This should get interesting the next 24 hours.
It’s times like this that I remember Sec. Of Defense Gates stating that we need MRAPs for Iraq more than F22 air superiority as he justified killing the F22 program.
smoking gun
They, the rebels (perps), are a bunch of scum bums.
This is comparable to Biden’s: “Hey Chuck...stand up for us...stand up...Oh...”

Russian troops seize hospital, missile base in Ukraines Crimea
(snip)
Russian soldiers disarmed servicemen at a Ukrainian Army missile base overnight Friday. Ukrainian military spokesman Vladislav Seleznyov told a local TV station that some 200 troops approached the building and threatened to charge it if the Ukrainian soldiers refused to give up their weapons.
Crimeas parliament has set a March 16 referendum on joining Russia, which has been denounced by Ukraines government.

I’m pretty sure the evidence that the “rebels” shot it down is pretty strong right now. This and the phone intercepts are pretty convincing.
Hey, at the very least, the media will quit focusing on the illegal alien invasion of the US.
I guess McCain wants another big assed war with Russia.
Good bye America. You been had.
He is now a self convicted war criminal. Russia should help capture him and his commanders to turn over to the Hague.
Is it a coincidence that today is the anniversary of the July 17, 1996 flight 800 downing?
Sardonic
These scumballs don’t make a sandwich without the express, written consent of Vladimir Putin.
They thought it was an Antonov-something-or-other. They had no idea it was a Malaysian commercial passenger jet.. Sheesh.
Igor's life just took a turn for the worst. He will be a hunted man and the hunt may not take that long.
Strelkov, aka Girkin, has been identified as a Soviet GRU (military intelligence) colonel.
See, at FR, “Ukrainian Rebel Commmander Identified as Russian GRU Military Intelligence Colonel”, Bill Gertz, ,”freebeacon.com”, June 20, 2014.
By the way, Soviet spy Alger Hiss was also a GRU agent.
The KGB-FSB/Putin is not our only Soviet/Russian enemy.
The UK piece has many elements of propaganda in it, attributing emotions to the rebels instead of just reporting the facts. I don’t trust the British press myself. Beware of propaganda. (Not saying this is not a tragedy, my prayers to the families who lost loved ones.)
