Well, that’s just complete BS. Don’t you read or comprehend simple facts?
-The plane was shot down over 100Km inside rebel territory. It was targeted and shot down at first opportunity, 20Km from the Buk launcher and more than 100Km inside rebel territory so your fantasy that the Ukrainians could have shot it down is a lie. Perhaps you think a Ukrainian mobile SA-17 did a scoot and shoot more than 100 Kms into rebel territory?
-Civil aviation had cleared the plane’s altitude for flying since the rebels were not known or believed to have missiles capable of reaching 33,000’. Over 300 planes flew over the rebels’ Ukrainian territory each day.
-A photograph was taken on the evening of the shoot down showing a Buk SAM system with a missile missing loaded onto a flatbed truck reportedly travelling towards Russia.
-Radio intercepts of the rebels claim it was a “Cossack” SAM unit which had arrived in the early morning hours of the day the plane was shot down. Ergo, a Russian SAM system crewed by Russian military.
Who knows...I’m just not in a BIG HURRY to trust the Obama Administration when they have more to gain by the plane crash being blamed on Russia than Russia had to shoot it down.
But it does surprise me the extent that others trust Obama to be telling the truth here, but not anywhere else. Personally, I don’t trust him either domestically or on foreign affairs.
