Uh... Mr. Prime Minister we know a BUK shot it down... the black boxes should tell us some of the story. To dig in to this crash is just a waste of energy.
Would the Ukrainians be less (pick a pejorative term here) for collecting the bodies and putting them under refrigeration, or letting them rot in the fields?
Has anyone explained why the rebels decided to shoot down a passenger jet? If they didn’t know, then why does the US Gov insist that the rebels had to have Russian help with the launch? Are we supposed to believe they are all that stupid?
Whats the problem? This is defacto admission of guilt.
Just suggesting - that if we really had an actual American president - he could have immediately contacted the Ukrainian government , the rebels, and the Soviets, I mean Russians, and said: “ under international law, we have responsibility to investigate the destruction of a US-made aircraft. Therefore, US expeditionary forces will be arriving to secure the crash site for our international investigating agencies. These forces will secure the perimeter only and take no part in the ongoing civil war. Do not engage them. They will be full armed and will respond with commensurate combat power to ensure safety of the investigation team and US forces.”
If we had an actual president.
