Yer all stoopid American mental speculators.

The Ukrainian terrorists thought it was the Putinators plane.

The Putinator just flew over minutes earlier.

They missed him and thought the Malaysian airliner was him in it.

Yes it's Obama's fault ultimately.

He started this sh!t in Ukriane months ago thru the bitch Victoria Nuland and that numb f*#k terrorist McCain.

Obama is out of control and can't control his foreign policies.

All his stupid foreign policy people are out of control.

The whole Ukraine debacle was started to ultimately save the petrol-dollar.

You Americans are stooopid as the rocks in yer heads.

The dumb fuk nutcase politard Crankcase will now have another leg humper secession because he's so stoopid gay homo.

Heh heh rolls eyes .....

Werner for President! Vitaley for Vice Pres!

We once had a president that knew how to deal with murderers!

One speech and he completely galvanized world opinion.

Imagine, instead of a loose missile, it was a loose nuke. We could be waking up to a warning to stay inside as the radioactive cloud passes overhead.

The FAA has forbidden US airlines from over-flying the Crimea since April. Apparently all
those airlines thought that saving a few thousands on fuel was worth it.

Everything points to the separatists and a captured missile system.

But, the separatists are a wholly owned subsidiary of the GRU and the Putin thugocracy.

Reagan always gets my vote as the worst president in modern history. Lovable dunce? Not so lovable according to his kids.

Ron, looks like they are the only ones who has the capabilities. 10000m is pretty high.

Recently the 'terrorists' acquired 1 Ukrainian SU 25 bomber, and even used it once in the fight. In response, Ukrainian Buks were deployed into the area of conflict.

The 'terrorist' also have 1 Buk launcher, but with no supporting equipment it is efficient up to 6000m ceiling. They must have used it to shut down Ukrainian transport plane on Monday - it was flying too high for shoulder-launcher missiles. My guess that technically, if you are lucky, you could hit a plane at 10000m with a stand-alone Buk launcher as well.

Obama just confirmed that the missile originated from separatist held territory. This plus the intercepted phone call of the separatists describing the targeting and downing of a "ukraine military supply plane" which they consequently realize is in fact a civilian plane (ie MH17) makes the case sealed tight, no doubt left now. Whats next for the region is another matter however.

The missiles have a ceiling over 25km. and as far as the standalone tracking of a huge 777 that is squawking its transponder..I think that might not be too tough

Yes the civil airplane been directed/allowed to fly over the war zone is totally at fault of Ukrainian authorities. And yes Malaysians should of know better.
