Rebels began barring news outlets from entering [Snizhne--the alleged location of the launch site] on Tuesday, as interest over the suggested missile launch site grew.

Ditto that! What’s it got to do with us?

We can’t even close our own borders for crying out loud.

Well, we can gripe about it...but that is all we can and need to do. Maybe sanctions. But no military..EVER.

I recall that when this rebel movement began to make the headlines, that a rebel force had captured a Ukrainian airfield and captured a quantity of munitions and armament including weapons such as these SAMs. Of course, everything in that part of the world is Russian made, both sides of the conflict. So to say the SAM was Russian is correct, but not necessarily given to them during the present hostilities. IMO

Whhat say ye??

They are already sending in Pentagon officials.

Follow the shiny object.

I wish they would send the Pentagon to the border, but alas, that is of lesser importance.

It’s certainly possible. The Ukrainians claim that none of their missile systems were lost. Even if the separatists pilfered the system from the Ukrainians, their actions immediately after the shootdown are questionable. And we know the Russians are arming them, anyway.

1) The Ukrainians say they aren't missing any.

2) Russkies always lie about capturing stuff right before they send it in. Before it was scrubbed, Russian media claimed they captured Buks from Ukraine, but this was only carried by Russian media, and not reported on independently by anyone else.

3) The Buks in question were seen and photographed fleeing to Russia shortly after they realized their "problem."

Russia is our enemy, as are the Chicoms. It is our problem.

The GOPe always fall out of their moldy lockers to find a microphone and a camera so they can help Obama. obama can count on them.

Notice how they stay in their moldy lockers regarding the invasion of our borders?

Obama loves it because later on he can blame any actions the people don’t want on them.

Demas love it at election time.

Was there ever any doubt?

This sounds like double talk, especially in light of this other FR thread:

US: No Link to Russian Gov't in Plane Downing

So, which is it? Is there a link to Russia or not?
