Here comes the “We didn’t do it, they must have done it./No we didn’t do it, the other guys must have done it.” debate.

Finally, some levity regarding a tragic action.

PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS BEEN BRIEFED ON THE CRASH OF MH 17.

I'm so relieved. Otherwise he would have to wait for tomorrow's newspaper to come out.

You do realize that Ukraine is an almost entirely Christian country? Indeed, the only Muslims in eastern Ukraine are Chechens that the Russians have been sending in to fight against the Ukrainian government.

At least the mainstream media can stop talking about the southern border for awhile, giving Obama time to plan his vacation etc. Especially CNN, they must be pretty relieved they can start talking about Malaysian Air again, anything other than the southern border, that is.

If the Toon said it, we'd have to ask if he meant not just any plane, but that plane.

At altitude? Then I'm thinking air-to-air or something onboard.

“Stingers can’t reach that high. Not even close.”

That is my understanding as well.

The running theory of the moment is a possible BUK launch.

That gives it a general range of 42 km with a max target altitude of 25 km.

That could do it, I think.
