Wow. That didn’t take long! It’s going to get ugly soon. More so than it already is. I don’t think Russia will let this go, do you?

This plane was at 30,000 feet but TWA 800 at 10,000 feet was too high.

You wouldn't think that ISIS is that stupid to want to incur the wrath of the entire Russian military.

This morning the first thing I heard on the news reports of this crash is that authorities said it was not a terrorist act.
As soon as I heard that premature politically correct assertion I knew it was a terrorist attack.

“Down” could be by explosion on board. High altitude seems to require it (if true).

Hit at 33,000 feet..? Maybe a pressure-activated bomb in the cargo bay? Conspirators once tried to get rid of Hitler that way. The bomb didn't go off.
Or maybe it was an accident, and ISIS is just trying to grab some quick publicity? Or maybe some third party trying to get Russia angry for some reason?
I doubt if we commoners will ever know for sure.

Crusaders...
Not for nothing, but these genuises dont want to know what a modern crusade would look like.
It would start with the temple mount, with Medinah and Mecca following shortly thereafter.
This modern conflict is NOT a crusade. It is neither religiously motivated nor aimed at conquest.
