One U.S. official said Washington strongly suspected the missile that downed the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 on a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was fired by Ukrainian separatists backed by Moscow...The Netherlands declared a day of national mourning for its 154 dead. Twenty-eight passengers were Malaysian, 27 Australian, 11 Indonesian, six British, four German, four Belgian, three Filipino and one Canadian. All 15 crew were Malaysian. Nationalities of the others aboard were unclear.

Sorry that I could not list all nationalities in topics. We’re limited to four topics. 154 Dutch people on that flight. Wow!

Kurt Wilders by any chance??

Why are Americans still waiting to hear about our casualties? Is it because our Fundraiser in Chief had a couple of gigs in NYC tonight and it would have been awkward ? I wouldn’t put it past Obama and Jarrett.

I don’t think anything will happen over it - oh, maybe some political rhetoric but basically - nothing. 0bozo spent what, forty seconds on it before heading to a fundraiser?

this has to be an act of war. Russia just keeps pushing and pushing.

World health leaders who had been to an AiD conference on board

Earlier today radio mention a travel/vacation group to Bali that made connections in Amsterdam for this leg of trip. Haven’t seen anything else on this group to confirm or dispel. Wondered if it might be the Americans since it was mentioned about the time the 23 were mentioned

Reports of American casualties have stopped for now. That's VJ in control.

[SayNoToDems]

300 Europeans,Aussies,Malaysians,Canadians and others paying the price for Obama’s secret promise of “flexibility”.And he's too busy to spend more than 50 seconds addressing this despicable war crime.

[nuconvert]

That’s exactly why. The WH is waiting until tomorrow - Obama is supposed to be going to Camp David.

If I were a U.S. family member, I would have called the media today and announced it myself.

[familyop]

Yes, all over the place, including the Arctic, the bomber probes, etc. Every NATO member should lend some support to Canada for Alert and other posts, IMO.

[katykelly]

Not even a strongly worded letter ?

[melsec]

It seems that up to 100 of these people were heading to Melbourne for an International Aids Conference. I know Vlad doesn’t like gays but that would be ridiculous!

[SkyDancer]

If so, most likely in small italic ...."Geeze, what were you thinking? Don't do that again."

[Bullish]

Was Lois Lerner on it by any chance? There’s some certain people in DC that would go to great lengths to make sure she stays silent.
