But even then, we can't jump to conclusions just yet until we figure out who shot down the plane, or if it was even shot down in the first place.

What we can't speculate or hypothesize here at FR anymore? Dang... stop the presses bubba. :)

Not sure what you are driving at . . . everyone should feel free to speculate, but posting speculation as fact? In order to spin the outcome? That’s where things get a little tricky.

[Alas Babylon!]

Ha! That’s just life on Free Republic!

Still, I think we should use Occam’s Razor first, unless, after a proper amount of time to get the FACTS, other FACTS come out.

Occam’s Razor, however, would dictate some hot heads in a war, after just shooting down a Ukrainian Air Force cargo plane with a SAM a couple of days ago, did this too. Kind of a hero to zero moment once they realize what they just did.

In any case, the fact that it is a Malaysian Air jet means little just because of the earlier disappearance.

So I’m waiting for the facts.
