I am of the opinion it was probably one of the many thousands of MANPADS that went missing out of Libya after Obama got Ghadaffi overthrown in his jump-start of the Global Caliphate (aka: Arab Spring). Russia has been doing what we have not in regards to laying waste to ISIS.
I think saying a bomb was planted is a lot easier for the regime to deflect responsibility than to suggest it was a SAM, because the panic-factor among the public is going to be a lot higher if it becomes known ISIS has capabilities to take out airliners from the ground.
Bottom line, regardless if a bomb or a missile, this was Jihad terrorism.
Something else Obama and his Jihadist-loving regime refuses to state.
That is all well and good, but the video that was posted was obviously a fake.
Islamic terrorism may have been the cause, maybe even a missile - but that video was most certainly not any evidence of it. And if ISIL or one of its affiliates used a surface to air missile of any kind, why would they post an obvious fake video when they could have shown the real thing?
I’d still guess it was either an accident or a bomb. I don’t think we should totally discount the possibility that the plane was just not maintained well and had a catastrophic failure. More and more it looks like a bomb if you believe the various news reports, but I don’t think that is definitive right yet.
I can’t wait to see the REAL ‘shock & awe’ that Putin is probably working on as we speak. Muslims are going to have their faces melded to their prayer rugs after he’s done with them.
