But the shipping cost is a killer.

Strelkov linked to two videos, reportedly of the downed airplane. After news broke that the Malaysian Airlines plane had gone down, he deleted the post about the AN-26.

I hope someone grabbed the post & videos.

Looks like the rebels are the prime suspects.

Sepratists captured a military base. Besides , Russia is right there on the border with plenty of fire power.

I’m a Prime Member so I get my BUK’s for free 2-day shipping! Yay.

My God, Urkel is definitely not equipped to handles this. He may posture us into WWIII

[chuckee]

If indeed the Russian militants are on the site sweeping for evidence, you can bet that evidence tying them to the missile will go the way of Lois Lerner’s hard drive. Lois...pick up the white phone,...you’re needed in Donetsk.

It’s kind of believable that the separatist were given a crash course on operational use and this cause them to miss their intended target and hit the 777 instead.

the aircraft was at 32,000 feet when it crashed.

Actually it was at sea level when it crashed

“But at the same time as the Malaysian Airlines jetliner went down, Radio Free Europe reported, Ukrainian rebel leader Igor Strelkov announced on Russian social networking site VKontakte that a Ukrainian transport plane had been shot down: “In the vicinity of Torez, we just downed a plane, an AN-26.... We have issued warnings not to fly in our airspace. We have video confirming. The bird fell on a waste heap. Residential areas were not hit. Civilians were not injured.” Strelkov linked to two videos, reportedly of the downed airplane. After news broke that the Malaysian Airlines plane had gone down, he deleted the post about the AN-26.”

You can’t fix stupid!!!

Quick on the uptake, aren’t you. lol

[wideawake]

Absolutely damning for the Putin toadies.

They just murdered 295 noncombatant foreigners for absolutely no reason at all, besides their own bloodlust and incompetence.

Given the real time nature of the reporting, their propaganda machine was unable to get its story "straight" in time.

[justa-hairyape]

As yet another possibility - Just as likely that Igor Strelkov saw or heard reports of the plane coming down and just thought it was another cargo plane shot down. Why would a Ukrainian cargo plane be flying at that altitude near where it would apparently land ?

I believe it went in the ocean,sea level

I suspect Mr. Strelkov is about to get a one-way ticket to The Lubyanka.
