I also checked the State Department Website for Press releases.
NOTHING:

The U.S. State Department twitter account:

did retweet the pics from the account of United States Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffery Pyatt;

who retweeted them from UKRAINFORM;

a pro-Kiev gov-run Propaganda site, known for putting out false info, like claiming Strelkov has fled several times, the rebels were fleeing Ukraine, the Russians were going to invade, several times, yada, yada.
It’s too bad that the Uk gov in Kiev can’t get the location of the Ukrainian border right on their own pics, doncha think?
As I said, the State Department hasn’t OFFICIALLY acknowledged it, and can now deny that they had anything to do with it.
Standard Obama/OFA operating procedure.
Oh Obama will deny it.....remember how long it took before they finally Officially responded that they couldn't say Russia shot the plane down......but by then the Obama machine had twisted the minds of those he intended to manipulate...and they were easy to manipulate with the MSM in lock step.
