Whatever.

Team Obama has done so little to inspire confidence that they’re ever telling the truth, so if they happenstance fall upon it, there is nothing to make one think it is because of THEIR commitment to the same.

Same as the LameStream Media: little left to make one think they ever tell the truth on purpose.

Hopefully high energy physics experiments. Involving Uranium. Lots and lots of it.

Something or someone took that plane down.

I don’t see Putin taking this sitting down.

If it was a bomb, why are they afraid
to fly over the region??

Because they know the US government (Obama, Clinton,
McCain and McConnell and Boehner) gave MANPADs
and probably much, much more to al Qaeda.

It’s not out of bounds to think the United States may have some part in the incident. At this point, however, the lax security at the Egyptian Airport seems to be the weakest link. Why would Obama’s Admin. even think of doing this?
Perhaps to entice an over reaction by Putin, thus making him look worthy of new sanctions and UN condemnation. That, plus spitefulness, for exposing Obama as a weak leader.

Not much and should not do much as it was not an attack on America.

Obama is not that smart.

But, this could work to the advantage of the US.

As much as I don't generally like, Putin, unlike some world leaders, he is a MAN.... And I respect him for that, and know he will take care of whatever needs taking care of.

I think you are dead on it. Funny thing is I think the loons in DC think they have everything under control. A hard rain is going to fall.

So, knowing that ISIS is basically Assad’s bastard creation, one has to ask what Putin’s plans are. He’s been tiptoeing around them for months now.

Just look at some of the maps showing where the ISIS strongholds are versus where the Russians have been bombing in and around Syria.

Putin’s going to have to make a hard decision.

There is no advantage to the U.S. in this evil bombing of a commercial plane full of Russian citizens. There is only advantage to the maniac ISIS terrorists who delight in murdering innocent people.

There is shame due the U.S. for backing out of the ME and for arming some terrorists in a lame attempt to fight other terrorists. Shame not due all of us, just our elected officials and their moronic appointments.

They don’t want to admit that it was a weapon the Obama boys gave to ISIS, Also, if they convince themselves that it was a bomb, then they can make airport screening procedures more invasive than they already are.

I have one problem with the otherwise high probability that this was a bomb.

So, correct if I’m wrong. It’s rare but it does happen.

Here is my problem:

I assume all bombs leave “Bomb Residue” when they explode.
I assume that tests for “Bomb Residue” are easy and accurate.
I assume there has been enough time to make those tests.

Therefore: The “Bomb Residue Test Team” already knows if this was a bomb or not. But this dog isn’t barking. Sherlock Holmes would very suspicious.

Note that since this is Free Republic I have an automatic E-Ticket to ride on any crazy Conspiracy Theory that I like. It’s comes with my FR License.
