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.

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

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.

“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!!!

[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 ?

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Monday the Obama administration’s foreign policies in a number of areas have enhanced the world’s “tranquility” – a word that raised eyebrows as reporters pointed to situations in Gaza, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Ukraine and the South China Sea.

We don’t know who actually pulled the trigger yet.

Ukraine Separatist Leader Boasts Of Downing Plane

In a post on his VKontakte page, Russia's largest social media site, separatist leader Igor Girkin, aka Strelkov, wrote: "In the vicinity of Torez, we just downed a plane, an AN-26. It is lying somewhere in the Progress Mine. 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."

Looks like top rebel Igor Girkin (Streklov) posted on social media about shooting down "another AH-26" today, along with video footage of the takedown.

[ExNewsExSpook]

Here’s the scary part; the SA-11, like most modern SAM systems can operate in a virtually automatic mode. It automatically acquires, prioritizes and fires against targets within range. Operator interface is only required to approve/disapprove the launch. Put a semi-trained conscript (or pro-Russian rebel) in the operator’s seat and the potential for fratricide is high.

The social media post from that rebel commander is telling...they weren’t really sure what they were firing at; thought it was a Ukrainian transport, hit a jetliner instead.

[Fear The People]

I wonder where...

This is Putin's mess.

[free_life]

Putin wanted a war and got one, now 300 Americans, Canadians, Australians, Brits and other westerners are dead as a result of his actions.

Mop up these Russian psychopaths and their Russian supplied weapons, secure the Ukrainian border, do what it takes to prevent further Russian incursions into Ukraine, take back Crimea and start the war crimes investigations.
