I cannot help but think that Putin and his old KGB cronies have taken a page from the Nazi playbook and did this bombing themselves just as Reinhard Heydrich
"Operation Canned Meat" just before the invasion of Poland.
And if nObama gets elected, look for swift travel down the Appeasement Highway to Doom!

Interesting thought,
Puttie has been seen to take out those who are not totally loyal.
In a romantic sort of way I sort of hope a resistance group caused this. Course if so the whole town that did this will be ashes.

It's going to be very interesting to see how Putkin responds to this and and how the MSN handles if he retaliates...

The Rooskies will claim to have found a Ukraine connection and that will be the pretext for an invasion.

And if nObama gets elected, look for swift travel down the Appeasement Highway to Doom! If Obama gets elected, I would expect to see some Reinhard Heydrich tactics right here in the good old U.S.A.
This will happen just as soon as Obama acolytes are in place at the FDA, CDC, BATF, and FAA.
