Fog of War.
Russia forgets the internet is forever.
The Russians (er, “rebels”) in Crimea bragged about their shot in real time on Twitter, etc.
Only to find out it wasn’t the cargo plane they thought it was.
I thought the civilian jet was supposed to be hundreds of miles off course and not in a normal pattern, including flying lower than usual. The Ukranian jet was there to check things out, da?
ROFL - this is why they were trying to change wikipedia entries and such yesterday to give the Su-25 the capability to do what they wanted to claim.
Throw multiple globs of feces at the wall and one will possibly stick.
In light of the recent Malaysia Airlines tragedies (one missing, one brought down by the Russians) I completed a project I began some time ago to remind us of an earlier Russian involved murder of hundreds of innocents. Will someone please remind obozo that it’s still a jungle out there!

So the Russians are admitting they (or their proxies) took MH17 down?
They are admitting that they took down the wrong plane?
It’s a bit surprising how much they know today about this other jet, but knew nothing about MH17, and where the missile came from that took it down.
They know exactly what happened and are obfuscating with barely connected details.
This has clearly been a very difficult week or so for FR’s resident FoP (fans of Putin).
And I thought it was rogue elements of Bush supporters in the CIA that took out MH17.
But if they fired a missile at a Ukrainian SU-25, missed, and the missile re-targeted itself onto the passenger plane, it is a somewhat less egregious mistake and something more easily done by an inexperienced launch crew.
The SU-25 can’t fly at 33k feet.
But you know that’s not true, don’t you Vlad:

Man,
I seriously distrust our magic negro on Everything he says.
Ya trust them russians any better?
Nope.
Did Ukraine ATC re-direct MH-17 to the "war zone" ?
More pro-Putin neo-Soviet propaganda...
It wasn’t a frogger, it was Lois Lerner and Hillary riding brooms in hot pursuit of the Hard Drive.
A subsonic SU25 is not the ideal design to chase aircrafts.

My chocolate Lab has more credibility than a representative of the Russian military.
...sooooo, what is the good Lt. General saying? Here’s a list of other things that could conceivably have happened... but it wasn’t us!
This guy is better than Jon Lovitz (and his girlfriend, Morgan Fairchild).
